The 2011 Sedona Marathon will be run once again on the same old tired course, on the outskirts of Sedona. A better part of half of the actual race will be run on a dusty and hilly road, in the outbacks of Sedona, on quite an unglamerous road! four seasons adventures (which produces the race) does a great job in misleading those who enter the race (most of whom come from out of state) into believing that this is a world class race. On the contrary, it's a sham of a production; an EASY $100+ fee made by this California company.
karen livesay (co-founder of four seasons adventures), likes to promote herself as from Sedona; in truth, she is from Northern Los Angeles, who comes to town once a year, to, "win the jackpot", and then departs with the winnings back to California.
Quite an uneventful race; lacking in sincerity, from start to finish!!
