Santa Barbara Nine Trails has all the Coconino Cowboys, Chris Denucci, Coree Woltering, Kris Brown, Desert Solstice winner Jacob Jackson, and more. The ladies are coming ready too with Krissy Moehl, Kate Elliot, Taylor Nowlin, Sandi, Cat, and a whole lot of others ready to race the tough 35 coastal miles. Can’t wait to see everyone take on this distance, especially with Jim’s half marathon fitness.
