After coming back from the Sedona Canyons 125, I’m pleased with the overall effort and result out there. Anytime you hit the podium, it’s a solid result. I went for the win and battled through some slight misses in the night stretch that ultimately had me lose the lead I built up which is a small part of this game we play. The two runners that finished ahead of me ran exceptional performances both surpassing their initial goals they had set which is just a testament to the growth of the sport as well as the growth in the entirety of Cocodona! As I type this, Sedona Canyons has sold out just in 3 days. The race did not sell-out in 2025. Everything that RD Steve Aderholt, and Jamil and his whole team at Aravaipa are creating something totally unique with Cocodona and I can’t wait to see this RACE continue to elevate itself as a banner event across the entire race calendar.
