5/5 Stars

The first 18 miles are the most beautiful course I've ever seen! I loved it! And I rsn with great friends.

No--but I live at sea level and the closest thing to a hill I have to run on is s highway overpass! So I couldn't do much downhill training.

The first 18 miles were amazing! The very steep downhill at the start was terrifying but kind of fun. Miles 18-22 were pretty awful--blazing sun, ugly industrial area.

If I could train downhill, I would, but where I live it's not readily doable. I'd have to drive a couple hours for hills that would approximate this course.

Do this race! Carry water. Aid stations are reasonably spaced, but in the very dry climate, i and my running partners found ourselves with dry mouths and throats between stations from time to time. Bring warm clothes you don't mind not seeing again to wear at the start.

Went to Park City, toured Temple Square and Beehive House; also going to ride a tram at a ski area before we leave.

The views through the canyon were so beautiful the didn't even look real. I loved running the first 9 with my friend and taking in scenery. Revel really seems to care about its racers.

I did but only because it was my first marathon.

A mostly downhill course with dramatic views of the Wasatch Forest with a smooth, well-marked course.

I did a three day a week training plan that I liked a lot but my area in Michigan did not make it possible to fully prepare for how downhill some of the course was.

Stay in on of the hotels that are partners with the race. Ours offered a shuttle right out the front door. Be prepared to sit in the cold before starting for a long time (we waited close to two hours). I'm glad I had worn clothes to wear while waiting because it started cool and warmed up quickly.

I came from Michigan on Thursday. When I arrived I drove to Pocatello, Idaho because I had never been to the state. Thursday night I picked up friends from Denver, one who also ran the marathon with me. Friday we went to the expo then drove the course. We stopped and had dinner at Silver Fork. We then drive into Salt Lake City and visited the Temple compound, the Capitol and The Cathedral of Madeleine. We did a lot of walking (probably not wise but it's so beautiful here!) I fly home Sunday morning but would come back to hike and explore more.

I loved it! I wish I could do it again tomorrow! Perfect weather, and I love all the extras you get with this race, from gloves to free pic and videos. I am hooked!

Yes I PR'd... Ten years ago when I first started running my fastest time was 2:11. Then I had knee surgery and got older and was averaging about 2:30. Today I ran in 2:09!!!

It is breathtaking beautiful!

I seriously trained on the treadmill except for my long runs. I maybe would have trained outside and downhill more.

The start could have been better organized. There was no announce men's that the race was starting. Everyone just headed toward the starting chutes at 6:45. Other than that flawless!!!!

Coming off a Achilles injury, I loved the ease it was to drop down to the Half, at no cost to me.
No PR, but a respectable time!

Cold at the start!
At Revel CA last year there was fire pits to keep us warm. The blanklets were amazing!! I could not stop taking in all the beautiful scenery.

I did more downhill training which totally got me use to this different type of running.

Do not come under dressed at the start.

I loved the chocolate milk!
I came from CA, where I am signed up for San Gabriel Revel. Maybe all three next year! UT, CO, CA!

Yes. I ran 11 minutes faster than my previous PR.

Fast!

It was probably the most exciting and beautiful race I done it was my first half marathon and I absolutely love it! I'll be doing it next year that's for sure!

Course is absolutely beautiful. Favorite memory is my Mazda" jump at the finish line - first time I've had enough energy to do that.

Not by a long shot.

Spectacular! A new gorgeous view around every curve. Love the grade - love the way you lift your feet and are just carried down the hill.

My training was about non-existent. Too many other distractions & other things going on. I know - excuses, excuses.

Train!!!!! Even though it's a downhill don't take that for granted.

None - live in the Igden area so drove down for the race then headed home right after.

Loved the runners, super wel organized, just great overall! Maybe give trophies to division winners top 3?

Yes! I ran a 2:48! Felt so fast. Thanks for making wasatch shorting. Going to Boston in April!

Absolutely perfect.

Concern: I did not like how you couldn't reenter the finisher area. I left to see family and want to go back in to get food and the man gave me a hard time. Sooooo lame???? Why is that? I just ran a 2:48 marathon and I can't grab some food... Which I also paid for?
