5/5 Stars
Seeing the moose in the first mile!
For my first half I wanted to finish about 2:10, I did 1:56!
Gorgeous course during the best time of year.
Three runs a week, plus cross training.
Wear the clothes you want to run in for a few work outs. Ensure they are comfortable and don't rub. Also, create a strategy for your run.
Breakfast at Pig in a Jelly Jar!
Revel was a great first race. I can't wait to do it again, hopefully next time it will be the full.
I enjoyed the course and had a fun time. Whished there were more portipoties at the first few of the half marathon aid stations. I noticed less lines and more of them later in the race. I would reverse that.
Yes by a little less than 4 minutes. No not close to Boston time.
Fun, downhill, a few steep sections but lots of fun. Great scenery
It was going well at the beginning. I was running three days a week with two cross training days. Then I hurt my knee and it did not go well for the last two months. I should have build my speed up a little slower.
It is cold at the top, be prepared.
Live local so not much
One more thing is I was disappointed in the shirt. The fancy pattern is too much. Whish it was just a solid color with the logo, not the patterned material. A simple solid color shirt would be better.
FAST
Nope, dumb hangover.
QUAD CRUSHER!
One foot in front of the other
May be in their best interests to avoid getting heavily entoxicated the night prior
Pre- Sat miserablely regretting incredibley poor life choices.Post- Pizza/Pancakes!
Perfect weather, excellent organization, and one of the best races I have ever participated in. Thank you!
No, but my friend did. :)
Quad-pounding and beautiful - don't change a thing.
Terrific race and excellent volunteers - worth the sore quads the day after. :-)
Race was as advertised,next morning felt the effects of running downhill but a good runners feeling, the out and back was the hardest for myself . The expo could use more vendors but other than that everything was perfect, immediate results Thanks Run Revel
No did not was off about 7 min but the scenery makes up for it.
It's fast downhill the uphill sections were hard after running down for so long,beautiful scenery down the canyon
Not enough Find some hills that are steep and long repeat repeat repeat
Dress warm for at the start it was cold due to being there an 1.5 hrs before the start and on top of a huge mountain
Came from Ohio 1st time west of the Mississippi River
A little cold in the morning, but when we got started the weather was great. And everyone who help did a great job. Very well done. Thank you for a Great time.
2 min slower than last year. Do to being gone all of July and not were I was supposed to be.
Great course.. I like running down the canyon at this time of year.
I run 5 days a week after work up to 5 -6 miles and Sunday's is my long run. Crossfit in the morning 5 days a week.
I wore my Sweet's and stayed warm. And used the bag the bag that u gave us and picked up my Sweet's after the race.
I went to breakfast at the local restaurant right there.
Perfect. Volunteers were awesome! Aide stations were well staffed! Loved the straight shot down hill!
No.
Great! Scenery beautiful!
Will train better next year ;)
Amazing !! I have never been treated so good with gloves,silver blankets volunteers were the best! Very well organized event!
No :( I was 8 minutes away from a BQ
Great downhill with a brutal 19th to 22 miles
Sign up for this race
Thank you for an amazing experience
4/5 Stars
The finish line was great with all the different vendors and variety of snacks and drinks. The waiting for the race to start was not that pleasant of an experience. If possible I would suggest heat lamps or a camp fire (since the meeting area was in a campground) or at the very least a hot drink, i.e. coffee, tea, hot chocolate.
I did set a PR. I beat my previous time by 9 minutes and that was with doing a run/walk throughout the race. Was only doing the half marathon, not qualifying for the Boston Marathon.
The scenery was beautiful, elevation didn't bother me, but I'm a Utah native.
I did primarily downhill training, and because I had access to it, ran parts of the course at least once a week which really helped.
Do the drop bag in the morning before the race, it's worth it so you don't spend an hour freezing with nothing to keep you warm. Downhill training will save you for this race.
From Utah, went and ate breakfast at Kneaders just West of the finish line.
This was my first marathon. It was the culmination of months of preparation. As race day approached, I found myself more excited than I would have guessed. The race lived up to expectations. It was very well-run. It was very satisfying to run & to finish my first marathon.
This was my first marathon. So, yes, it was a PR. (But, as my daughter would say, it was also my worst-ever marathon time!)
This course is one where the majesty and beauty of God's creations are on full display. Breath-taking!
Six or eight months of training. I followed a program that incorporates "easy" mileage three days per week with a weekly speed run, a weekly tempo run and a weekly long run. Total weekly mileage during training: 40-45 miles per week.
Train at altitude, if possible. Run some miles every week or every other week at a downhill 4 or 5 percent grade. Make a training plan and stick with it.
I visited Temple Square. Two of my sons and one of my nephews and I visited Gilgal Garden and the Joseph Smith Memorial Building (where we watched some "Meet the Mormons" movie segments in the theater.
