Weather snapshot (AI-assisted text)
Taking place in Albuquerque, NM in April, you can generally expect pleasant spring weather, often mild and sunny. However, being in the foothills, conditions can vary, so it's wise to prepare for anything from cool mornings to warmer midday temperatures. Layering your running gear is always a good strategy for New Mexico spring events.
Terrain & course feel (AI-assisted text)
The course is described as an "all-terrain cross-country course in the challenging foothills of the Sandia Mountains." This means you should anticipate varied surfaces, likely including dirt, rocks, and potentially some uneven ground. The "challenging foothills" suggest significant elevation changes, so be ready for some climbs and descents on your run.
