Very hilly 15k race…read more I think we had just about 600 runners at this race. Pretty small race. Bib pick up: available on Friday and Saturday in Scottsdale, and the race day pick up is available. Race day pick up location was at the finish line area and need to walk to the bus stop. Race day: bus takes to the start line. Plenty of toilets available at the start like. Only 600 runners, line never gets too long. Since some people showed up late, last bus ended up leaving later, ended up pushing the start time by 20 minutes. That 20 minuets made difference in temperature, I was really hot. Race: start from the McDowell Mountain Park, up hills and down hills then up again, little bit of down and more ups and ups. Be sure to train for up hills during training. Since it was a local race for me, we practiced the race route several times and it helped me prepare well. Post race: cash award is available for the first place runner. I think it was $200. They also have age group award and it was $50 gift card at a local running shoes store. I spend so much money for running shoes for me and my family, this gift certificate is definitely helpful for my household budget. One of the sponsors is Huss brewing. They provide lots of craft beer. Everyone gets one can but they also give out to groups of runners. Fast runners, biggest running team, random picks. Amount of beer is based on one person's weight in your team. It's good to have heavy weight person for more beer. I took a case home and am still enjoying them. It is really fun race, small and friendly.

Typically this run takes place in Tempe Town Lake, or shall I say around, not in Tempe Town Lake…read moreand is 10 miles, I am not sure of the details as to why it switched over to Fountain Hills, but now the long run is a 10K which is a little over 6 miles. They also offer a shorter 5K run, but sometimes those runs seem a bit too quick for me now. I think the long run switched to a 10K due to the "hilliness" of the course. I enjoyed the run because the Fountain Hills area has pretty views and neighborhoods to see. Since I'm used to running on flatter terrain, I did get a little winded at times, but it wasn't anything un-doable. I just realized that I need to pace myself better so I can finish stronger, instead of losing steam at the end. The course was clearly laid out. No confusion. The cops did a great job directing traffic. Although there were no corrals separating runners with different paces, it never got too crowded at any point. The medals were very colorful, and the ribbon attached to the medal actually had the date, which was December 15, 2013 printed on it. There was a fun post-run box at the end that had a snack and a fruit/veggie drink of some sort samples. They even gave one of the biggest water bottles I ever seen on your way out. The shirt given with the race packet was a nice cotton poly blend that was very comfortable to run in. Overall, I enjoyed this run. It was extremely cold and windy at the start of the run so it was hard waiting for the run to start, but once it got started, I quickly warmed up after the first mile or two. I'm really not sure what they could do better at this point. I will most likely do the run again.

I found that they have everything that you can need for a weekend camping adventure without having to break the bank and my back. We were able to book online which was so easy and make the process super quick when we arrived to pick it up. We got a call from Chad who let us know that we were confirmed and when to arrive to grab the unit. When we got there Chad walked us through the entire process and how to set it up once we got to our destination. Everything was great we had a great time it was so spacious and the AC worked great. We slept like bears in the cold! We will be back to grab one of their UTV side by sides next which looked like an absolute blast.

My daughter decided it would be fine for us to rent an RV and go on a road trip for the summer. So…read morewe did some internet searches and found Apache Canyon Rentals, we spoke to Jason and Chad who both were awesome to work with. They hooked us up with an RV that had the things we needed along with a generator in case we stayed somewhere with no electricity we traveled to San Diego and up the coast. The RV was clean and stocked with everything we could need. It was an amazing experience and I highly recommend you try it. When we returned the RV Chad made it so easy, and helped us get it all checked in! They also rent UTVs and we can't wait to come back and give them a try they were super affordable compared to the Cruise America RV rentals that wanted to charged us triple the cost that Apache Canyon Rentals charged. And the deposit was half the cost and the fees were supper affordable! We love Apache Canyon Rentals!

I will certainly use them again and recommend them.

Some of their prices were s little more than I had wanted to pay and also require you book a minimum of 2 hours and I only needed an hour. Arizona Face Painting responded quickly and was able to accommodate the hour I needed. Vanessa did our face painting. She arrived a little early to set up and had small albums of pictures for us to look at in case someone didn't know what they wanted which was very helpful. Once she finished with the kids we had adults get their faces done too! She does amazing work and everyone loved it. Two guest already want to book her for their parties after they saw how great she was! I highly recommend them and their price is reasonable. Thank you again Vanessa!
