Sky High Flag: the Town | the People | the Race

On October 4, 2014 the Flagstaff Skyrace - the final race in the US Skyrunning series - presented by Aravaipa Running took place in the mountains of Flagstaff, AZ. With an ever increasing magnifying glass on the endurance community of Flagstaff, some of the locals share their thoughts on the town and trails they live and train in over race highlights of the tough, rugged and scenic terrain of the San Francisco Peaks.

Very fortunate to be able to live in AZ for 8 years. Flag is definitely a great place for outdoor activities. It reshaped my entire view of the world, the nature, and myself. Now I am back at Shanghai. I continue my enthusiasm for running, climbing and hiking. Thanks for making such an awesome video of flagstaff!

A few years ago during a trip to the Grand Canyon from Ohio,my family and I stayed at the Little America Hotel in Flagstaff-my favorite hotel of all time-luxury accomodations but delivered in a laid-back atmosphere.The people of Flagstaff are awesome.This wonderful video reminded me of what a special place Flagstaff is.....thank you Mr. Yang!

When did people start referring to Flagstaff as 'Flag'? About the same time they started referring to Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window as 'Rear'?
