5/5 Stars
Overall it was great, however, corals would be great. The first mile was so congested and full of walkers that it was my slowest mile causing me to miss a PR opportunity.
2 seconds from a PR.
Fast and beautiful. Would love for it to end at the base of the mountain instead of running though town.
Take a throw away blanket or old towels that you can throw away before the race starts. These, combined with the Mylar blanket, will keep you warm.
Hot spring crater, rafting, heber valley cheese tasting, Sundance resort, zip lining and Gonzo sunset cruise.
Yes. by nearly 4 minutes. I did not qualify for Boston.
Beautiful.
Downhill training is a must. My wife and I took turns driving each other to top of our local hill and running down. I also was able to make improvements with the addition of interval training to my workouts each week.
Run downhill. The more you train downhill the better.
4/5 Stars
Pretty scenic run through a challenging downhill course.
No
Serene, beautiful scenery until the last 5 miles of the course. Downhill grade was very challenging with some very steep grades. Last 5 miles on Union street were anticlimactic and somewhat disappointing . Did not enjoy running in the middle of stop and go traffic.
Didn't really train for 18 miles of downhill. Went faster than planned but burned out at the end
Train downhill. Bring super warm clothes to where while waiting for race to start at Guardsmans Pass. It was very cold. Wish I brought a cap.
Visited Temple Square and did light hiking.
This is the 4th year I've run this race and each year just gets better and better. The course is gorgeous, the volunteers are amazing, the swag is awesome, the medals are huge, and the finish line is a party. Best race in Utah!
Not this year
Gorgeous, fast, well organized, fun
I live in Salt Lake, so I like to train in the canyons for our Saturday long runs. You must build your "downhill" legs for this race.
Just do it!
I drove 15 minutes from my house to catch the bus. One of the reasons I love this race is because its local.
I liked the new start for the half. When we were in the campground we didn't get any announcements and last year we didn't know it had even started! The volunteers for this race are so great! They are encouraging and fun. It was a great race, beautiful weather and great course! My only complaint was that there was only one station with fruit for the half marathon. We would have liked a couple more stations with some fruit. We had nothing in the tank when we crossed the finish line.
Nope!
Beautiful and course and mostly downhill, at least for the half marathoners!
We trained running down hills to get our legs ready
Train downhill! It is 10 miles downhill for half marathoners and 19 for full marathoners. Bring warm clothes for the start line. It gets cold that time of year in the canyon!!
We only live about 45 minutes away....
I have done this race 4 years in a row because we love the course! The mostly downhill race makes it a pleasant experience!!
Great race!
Great day! I think this year we started a a better time and it was on time! It was nice that I didn't have to sit around forever. I ran 24 weeks pregnant and I finished.
I did not PR, last year I place third in my age division. But I am pregnant this year and was happy to race at all. :)
Beautiful
Being pregnant I only managed to run 3-4 times a week, gradually increasing my weekly mileage. I ran a little downhill to prepare my body. Usually I'll run 6 days/week with speed workouts and long runs on Saturday.
Train with downhill, have a long run one day each week. Enjoy your training and especially the beautiful course!
I helped volunteer with the bib pick up. I like talking to everyone getting excited about the race.
Fun and fast
Nice a little steep but so much fun for my slow pace
Of gosh it's been all year, one half, two fills and cottonwood. So fun
Train, get your runs done
Met up with my sister and had a great lunch with her and her kiddos for her birthday. Shopped and just had an amazing day
Green River Wyoming
Perfect!
Excellent!
We followed a 12 week plan
Train for downhills
Nice Indian Restaurant and Salt Lake City tour
Thanks
Awesome
Great time. I did not see gus or any source of caffeine during the race. That is my only complaint.
Yes. 10 minutes.
Downhill.
I run a lot, but did not do speed training.
Train on downhill.
Thank you.
Great day, great venue and great volunteers. I was on pace for a PR until my calf muscle pulled near mile 20 (ARGH).
Much steeper than anticipated. But it was very beautiful. Incredible course and I can't wait to run it again.
I needed a little steeper downhill training. What I did was not similar enough to the grade of many sections of the course.
Wear calf sleeves and bring something to sit on at the start of the marathon. Not much space available.Also, hit the port-a-potties earlier than normal, the lines were very long at the start of the race.
Nothing. I only traveled from Lehi.
