  1. Overall Rating

    5/5 Stars

  2. Describe your race day.

    Fast (for me)

  3. Did you PR?

    Yes by 5 minutes over another downhill course I ran this year.

  4. How would you describe the course?

    Down hill. I loved having gravity on my side.

  5. Tell us about your training.

    I have run several half marathons and 5 Ks this year. I haven't done as much training as I'd like due to injuries.

  6. What advice would you give future runners?

    Practice on a steep downhill course. It's rough on the feet and I slightly sprained an ankle by the time I finished. Training specific to the course may help them avoid injury.

  7. What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

    Slept in my van a block from the finish line the night before and I've never slept better on race night knowing I was already there and ready to go. I got more sleep than I've ever had prior to a big race. I came from Orem. Awesome race. Great support and volunteers. I'll be back next yer.
    One suggestion- Someone with a bullhorn at the start line area or an emcee to keep people posted about the race.
