Feedback:
FABULOUS! From registration to the finish line, this race is so well organized. The course is beautiful, the support staff are wonderful and the spectators are energizing. This will be my "must run" race every year.
What a great day to run in beautiful weather with a stunning back drop among amazing people!
Truly an outstanding event. Everyone is great, the scenic course just challenging enough, perfect.
Loved this race! From packet pick up to finish the race is very well organized and efficient.
Excellent race. Well organized and beautiful. Loved seeing the sun rise behind the Superstition Mountains.
I did twelve different runs in Arizona during 2023, and the Lost Dutchman Marathon was the best. Back again in 2024, and it was a beautiful day with great company.
The most organized event I've ever participated in!
I am a winter snowbird and have participated in the 10K for 3 years now. Really enjoy the views on this particular jog!
Phenomenal race from all the swag to the course , the volunteers, and of course the beautiful scenery. This is a must do Arizona race. We are going on our 5th time of doing this race we've made this one a tradition.
