I ran the Grand Canyon this Saturday and believe that I have seen the most beautiful site in the world! The sun shone on the canyon with bright shades of gold and orange! 300 runners were given the most beautiful morning and we all knew we were experiencing a once in a lifetime run!
Nature won me over as we ran the Southern Rim of the Grand Canyon! The scene of the Grand Canyon was breathless and awe inspiring! I never knew something could be so beautiful and overwhelming with the mix of emotions I felt when I saw this for the first time.
The first mile was a steady climb with the high elevation of 7,000 feet we were in for a challenge.
The course ran along the southern rim out 8 miles and back with the views taking your breath away along with the altitude and hills. The runners then raced through the forest with the memory of the canyon etched in their legs and mind!
"It seems a Gigantic Statement for even Nature to make" words from John Muir .. I can only heartily agree after running this marathon of a lifetime!
Take a look at your world Runners and find a race and place that will make you breathless, speechless and look at the world in a new light!
The marathon of your dreams awaits you & the thrill and unknown will challenge you!
What are you waiting for ...let's run!
Helen
