    2. Describe your race day.

      I thought the race was very good. Wish we could have heard the announcements at the start over an loud speaker. There were some who did not hear anything, while at the porta potties. Other than that, I thought it was well organized.

    3. Did you PR?

      Yes, by 9:38 over last years Big Cottonwood half.

    4. How would you describe the course?

      The course is beautiful, and my second favorite after the Ogden Marathon.

    5. Tell us about your training.

      I trained a lot of hills, so this year I was less sore and able to PR.

    6. What advice would you give future runners?

      Build up your quads. Run hills. I wore my pj bottoms while waiting for it to start. That kept me warm. The gloves and blanket are a nice touch given by BCW.

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

      I live in Ogden, so just hung around with friends.

    2. Describe your race day.

      Left very early to do early packet pick-up., Unfortunately the sprinklers turned on there and the volunteer was getting soaked.

    3. Did you PR?

      Yes. Pr by 9 minutes

    4. How would you describe the course?

      I loved all of it except for the out and back on Wasatch Blvd. The rolling hills were pretty tough and wiped me out

    5. Tell us about your training.

      More downhills.

    6. What advice would you give future runners?

      They said it was the warmest ever for the starting line. But the overall heat of the race wasn't bad.

      nothing really. Traveled from Pleasant View for the race.

    2. Describe your race day.

      It was awesome and so well managed and all the goodies were wonderful. I stayed in the finishers area for a while because I was waiting for my friends to come in. I noticed that volunteers were just giving away of clementines, and the slower runners weren't able to get any. It would be nice to give a couple away instead of bags so that the slower runners could receive goodies too.

    3. Did you PR?

      Yes. 4 minutes. Missed Boston by 7 minutes. It was too hot and the out and back killed me even though I was trained for it.

    4. How would you describe the course?

      The course is incredibly fast, the scenery is beautiful, the grade is killer, that out and back is killer, it would be nice if the out and back could be a mile and a half out and a mile and a half back if you could somehow figure that out. I know you would enter midvale and need more permits. I was so close!!! I think it was hot too.

    5. Tell us about your training.

      I trained the canyon and the Out and back every weekend. I would recommend everybody do the same, Because the canyon is killer.

    2. Describe your race day.

      Well organized. Good volunteers. Only one approach to parking made for long back up.

      Course was beautiful until mile 17.5. From there on the course was very disappointing. The route and the traffic was horrid. It seems you could have gone through neighborhoods or something more scenic and less traffic. The fumes from the cars was difficult.

      Iced water and towels at the finish were fabulous. Food was very lacking. I understand there were more options but they were gone after the half marathoners finished. Chips, bananas, otter pops and water just wasn't enough.

    3. Did you PR?

      No

    4. How would you describe the course?

      See above

    5. Tell us about your training.

      Trained at Mt Charleston near Las Vegas. We trained 14 weeks doing downhill on weekends. Uphill during the week in Summerlin.

    6. What advice would you give future runners?

      Put food in your drop bag for after.

      I did a few training runs in little cottonwood canyon which really helped with the downhill portion

      Do a lot of downhill training so that you are able to walk with little pain the next day
