Very beautiful scenery

Yes by 2 min

Beautiful fast and Downhill

3.5 miles 3x week

Don't run so fast in the beginning. Pace yourself. Practice some downhill running in advance

Staying in park city from denver! Went to a street festival today. Had never been to Utah before!

4/5 Stars

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

Awesome! The medal design was 1st rate!

No

Fantastic 1/2 marathon course...one of the fastest in Utah.

I run many races, so I didn't train for this race in particular.

Where something warm up the canyon.

Spent time with friends after the race in the runner area. Great refreshments!

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

Yes. Pr by 9 minutes

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

More downhills.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

3/5 Stars

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.

No

See above

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

Put food in your drop bag for after.

Overall good day. Would have loved some water while waiting for the race to start.

yes by one minute

Loved the canyon run, hated the city portion especially the traffic along both sides of the runners

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

Live it Sandy so I watched my kids play soccer after the race:)
