This is part three
Part one is Here
Part two is here
———-
I’m going to write a review of the Red Deer Marathon on Complete Running but I thought I’d say a few short words about the event here too.
- It’s absolutely beautiful - breathtaking in several areas.
- It’s essentially a trail run - about 38km on pavement, 4km on crushed gravel and 4km on dirt. I never ran on an actual road.
- It’s extremely well run with lots of super volunteers.
- Free race photos! There were several photographers covering the event. I can’t wait to see the pics!
- An awesome technical running shirt.
- And a nice medal.
I’ll post some pics of some of these things shortly.

I just checked out the map of the course … wow, I bet it was beautiful. Red Deer is a great city in that you can quickly get somewhere to feel like you’re completely out of the city.
How fun that you got to race in your old stomping grounds!
