This was my first experience with a Revel race. It was not my first experience with the marathon/half marathon distance and man am I impressed! Well organized, great swag, friendly people everywhere, frequent and efficient aid stations, amazing scenery, and awesome bib transfer/withdrawal options on registration. Thank you for a wonderful experience, you definitely stand out in the race business and this customer can't wait to be a "repeat."

Yes. 38 min improvement.

Scenic and fun. There was some aggressive downhill, but it was manageable for moderate/average runners. The start is cold, but I felt the race organizers were helpful in managing participants expectations and providing blankets, hats, and gloves.

Working up to a 10 mile distance left me feeling prepared and confident in my abilities. I would get a couple of canyon runs in next time if possible, but do not feel they are that big of a game changer. I would encourage racers to cross-train for this race, building leg/core strength, strong joints, and mobile connective tissue will make this run a better experience for everyone.

My only advice would be for runners to expect the cold start. Also, if you have a hot spot, even a minor one, make sure you take preventative measures to avoid blisters.

Nap. Eat. :)

The majority of the race in the canyon was amazing and I felt wonderful, after exiting the canyon though I felt that the course had more to be desired, having that hill at mile 24 was THE WORST especially after the multiple mile flat section, if there was anyway to do that hill before a detour that would have saved my legs and multiple others a ton!

This was my first marathon so I did PR

Trained on hills 3x a week, but unfortunately did not run further than 10 miles before the marathon...my bad

Train, train, train for hills and condition your legs! Being warm clothes for the start so you don't freeze to death. Wear shoes 1/2 size larger than you normally wear to save room for your toes on a predominantly downhill course

We live here, so we went home and toak a nice long bath

The course was spectacular and scenic. The staff and volunteers were very supportive and well organized!

Yes! By 13 minutes of my former PR at a NYC race. Did not do the marathon or aim for qualifying.

Gorgeous colors and fast race with the downhill.

Great day! Beautiful scenery and good company. What more can you ask for?

No but I cut 24 minutes off my time from last years race

Beautifully brutal

Not nearly enough

Enjoy yourselves and run your own race

Went to dinner the night before with my race sisters at Hoppers. Great food. I drove in from north Ogden but got a local hotel Friday night.

Great.. Except for the 4 mile circuit in the middle. That was kind of mind numbing.

No training.

Run downhill:)

5/5 Stars

Great race! Plenty of aid stations, adequately staffed and really organized.

Yah. By 22 minutes. 4:14 was the previous PR, today was 3:52. No Boston this year, but next year I will try again.

Beautiful. Leaves changing, sun rising over the peaks. Absolutely stunning. Elevation made the uphill at Brighton pretty rough, but otherwise not a problem.

Standard marathon training, but I strength train 5 days a week. That is huge with the downhill.

Do it! Bring warm stuff at the start.
