Are Albuquerque races beginner-friendly?
Yes, for the most part. Across the 5 races in Albuquerque with published results, the typical median finish is around 35:51, which means half of every one of those fields came in slower than that. Recreational runners and walk-runners are the bulk of these fields, not the exception.
