Cocodona 250 has quickly built a reputation as one of the longest and most difficult races in the country - but with its generous cutoffs, it’s an experience that many will be capable of undertaking. 

On the first part this epic Cocodona 250 recap, Andrew goes in-depth for each section of the race up until the halfway point around mile 126. From the Bradshaw Mountains to Mingus Mountain and it’s treacherous descent into Jerome, Andrew talks about the terrain, environmental challenges, and other physical and mental roadblocks that this race provides. 

Is the first 50k really the toughest 50k in the country? How about the first 100k? Just how rocky and hot is this course? These are just a few questions that have been attached to this race since it’s inaugural year in 2021. We hope these next two episodes will be able to address most questions, as well as provide that in-depth overview of the entire course. 

And just how many mishaps and hilarious situations does Andrew find himself in during this race? You though he would’ve learned after Moab…

Stay tuned for part two next week, as we end the recap and answer many of your questions!
