    2. Describe your race day.

      Excellent! My only complaint is that before the race there were no shelters for cold weather.

    3. Did you PR?

      No, I wanted to protect my knees more than to get a PR.

    4. How would you describe the course?

      Stunning, although the last 3 miles weren't my favorites.

    5. What advice would you give future runners?

      Bring pats to warm you up before the race starts.

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

      Water rafting

    2. Describe your race day.

      Early, dark, cold wait for start. Loved the easy transport to start, the beautiful, fast course, outstanding support from community, especially law enforcement for road safety. Nearly pr'd (my 25th) half marathon. Nice expo-love my shirt!!

    3. Did you PR?

      So close!!

    4. How would you describe the course?

      Beautiful, fast--downhill grade was very manageable (vs steep). Cool early race temps were lovely.

    5. What advice would you give future runners?

      We stayed at Residence Inn and enjoyed our stay, nearby dining, and convenient bus service to start.

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

      Traveled from Boise and needed to get back same day of race.

      the event very well organized... but food and drink at the end could be better. Need chocolate milk for recovery (but not Tru moo) yogurt, ice cream sandwiches

    2. Describe your race day.

      I loved the supportive volunteers. Thank you for having such positive people. And thank you for having well stocked aid stations.

    3. Did you PR?

      Yes. First race. Slow and not worth mentioning a time though.

    4. How would you describe the course?

      The course was beautiful and definitely a good first half to start with.

    5. Tell us about your training.

      I did not train properly. I did cardio but did not focus on running. Before completing this, the most I had ran was 6 miles. Did not think I could finish, was impressed I did. To others I would say, train. And even if you think you can't do it, you probably can.

    6. What advice would you give future runners?

      Bring pants to wear up at the top of the canyon and send back down in one of the trucks. I wished I would have had some. Spandex did not cut it in the warmth department.

      It was great! Loved all the little signs down the mountain. It made me smile.

    3. How would you describe the course?

      Beautiful scenery, and a nice grade till the last 3 miles. Which were up and down hill.

      Just wish the race didn't go as far into the city center and was closer to the mouth of the canyon.

    2. Describe your race day.

      My race was tough due to injury , but I was able to BQ again by about 25 minutes. This is my third year in a row for the full , and I was lucky to BQ at all three times, even when the out and back was was longer. My favorite memory was the beauty of this canyon, and all of my running friends. Two of my friends stayed after their marathon and cheered me on.

    3. Did you PR?

      I was a minute from PR. I think I could have done better if my calves hadn't cramped in the last 3 miles. Just grateful to have run.

    4. How would you describe the course?

      The course is not the easy downhill that you hear people , who haven't run it , call it. I think it is challenging , but fun.

    5. Tell us about your training.

      I train with Run4fun people and Hometown Heroes. I did quite a bit of trail running this summer to mix it up, and a few uphill races in Colorado , and a few peaks.

    6. What advice would you give future runners?

      Not being an expert , I would just tell them to run All aspects of the course, to get a feel of what it would be like .

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

      I loved the expo and went to lunch with friends . I happily ran the canyon during the summer , at a pace to enjoy the scenery . It was so crowded towards the end.

    2. Describe your race day.

      I woke up really early to drive up to the SLC area from Provo and found the buses easily. At the starting line I waited for a while with plenty of time for my feet to get numb... I was not expecting it to be that cold--should have prepared for that a little better. For me the course was hard but it made it that much more sweet to make it through the finish line. I wish there would have been an ice bath available but I was grateful for the ice towels.

    3. Did you PR?

      nope.

    4. How would you describe the course?

      The starting line was miserably cold and might have been aided with some warm drinks or fire pits. The course is a hard and long course because it is so steep for the entire time and the out and back played mind games that makes it hard.

    5. Tell us about your training.

      My training was interrupted unexpectedly with a serious illness during the summer for a good 4 weeks. I think I did pretty well considering my circumstances.

    6. What advice would you give future runners?

      Practice the couse.

    2. Describe your race day.

      Beautiful day wonderful scenery. The 3:30 pacer guys were a crack up.

    3. Did you PR?

      While yes I did cut 25 minutes or so from previous marathons.

    4. How would you describe the course?

      As stated above the scenery was awesome. The grades were manageable a couple of steep spots downhill that hurt as much as the inclines on the out and back

    5. Tell us about your training.

      Trained for this starting in July. Heart rate training which I think helped a bunch. Did not train for altitude or long descents but neither were an issue for this race for me. My heart rate was under control raised a bit at mile 3 and spiked on the wastach section.

    6. What advice would you give future runners?

      Enjoy this gem. You will go out fast and enjoy the decent don't expend your energy until you need it at mile 20.

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

      Traveled from Sacramento and was pretty sore after the race. Salt Lake City was easy to travel to and around.
