The National Trail in South Mountain (or SoMo) is beautiful, entertaining and, on occcasion, ultra-technical!
Did I tell you it is ultratechnical at times? Ideal to practice your trial-trail skills. Didn't bring my body armor to Phoenix, though somehow I suspect it may have aided my confidence...
The National Trail: gorgeous technical singletrack
Views on the Valley of the Sun are abundant
Another technical section / drop-offf / rock ledge
This double drop was one of the most challenging pieces. I walked, if you must know!
The Mormon Trail, more flowy, faster and a tad less technical
More views from SoMo
Phoenix's Rock'n roll marathon!
30000 participants and God knows how many spectators
After the half-marathon finish
Congratulations!
