Arizona Sunrise Series Review

Good communication, easy directions, and ample free parking near the start / finish.
Organized and easy packet pick up night before or morning of
Early start option for cooler temps / thinner crowds are timed individually or mass start on a well marked paved path with some small hills.
Tons of friendly volunteers 
One water station on course and drinks / snacks at the finish
Great swag options - I love my purple racer back!
For the series, athletes earn one medal plus a letter for each race to spell out ARIZONA when you complete the series. 
Overall / AG awards earn an additional piece that also attaches to your medal! Great concept!
