Half Marathon in Tushar Mountains

I am 11 years old and I just came back from a half marathon in the Tushar mountains  with some amazing pictures. It was the best race I  have ever done. They even had pancakes at their aid stations! There was also a marathon and a 93k. They do a lot of other races in the series  including races in the Grand Canyon, Zion, Monument Valley,  Capital Reef, Bryce Canyon, Tushars, and Antelope Canyon. Here is there website.
                                                 Waking up to a great sunrise.
                                             A great view from the half marathon.
                                             That looks like an amazing climbing cliff!
                                              Looking up at Mt. Holly
                                 There is Mt. Delano, a 12,169 ft peak we climbed in the half marathon

Looking back at the start.

                                     Here is Mt Holly again with a windy road up to the top.

                                              Mt Holly from the other side.
 My brother made his own fire pit and his own fire and lighted it with all natural ingredients with no man made things.
                     Running up that road in the mount Holly picture that I said was windy.
                                    Feeling super tired arriving at the aid station.
 Running down Mt Delano.
                                           Running up that same windy road.
Running on a trail back to the finish line.









A big thanks to Matt Gunn and his crew for this amazing event.
