Thank god the course changed this year! Seriously, so grateful for that

Hal Higdon....kind of. I'm a slacker. I did register for a few halves in the meantime and that helped

Downhill! EXTREME DOWNHILL, train for it. Do it.

5/5 Stars

This race from registration to the finish line is very organized. It started on time and each station was well staffed with awesome volunteers. The finish and street fair is by fair the best. Thanks to everyone that made this possible.

Yes.

Beautiful-fast. Big cottonwood canyon is one of Gods best creations.

Make sure you do plenty of down hill training. Even with proper training we will be sore for a few days.

Do it!! And enjoy.

Local. Draper area.

Last year I ran Run Elevated 2:46, this year with Revel I did 2:17!!! Couldn't be happier

The course was beautiful and the canyon is simply stunning! Elevation was definitely challenging but totally worth it!

I did some trail running which definitely help. I also ran down millcreek while the upper roads were closed.

Fast (for me)

Yes by 5 minutes over another downhill course I ran this year.

Down hill. I loved having gravity on my side.

I have run several half marathons and 5 Ks this year. I haven't done as much training as I'd like due to injuries.

Practice on a steep downhill course. It's rough on the feet and I slightly sprained an ankle by the time I finished. Training specific to the course may help them avoid injury.

Slept in my van a block from the finish line the night before and I've never slept better on race night knowing I was already there and ready to go. I got more sleep than I've ever had prior to a big race. I came from Orem. Awesome race. Great support and volunteers. I'll be back next yer.
One suggestion- Someone with a bullhorn at the start line area or an emcee to keep people posted about the race.

This race was DEFINITELY catered to the needs of the runners. The staff and volunteers were not only helpful, they were happy and very observant. They asked questions and made sure that everything was taken care of before letting anyone head back out (and not in an annoying way.) The location was absolutely jaw droppingly beautiful. I would recommend this marathon to anyone and everyone!

I got my PR by only a couple of minutes, because I hadn't trained for the race, and I got sick part way through. No Boston for me. Yet.

The scenery was amazing. Elevation I didn't think was too terrible, but my lungs are pretty weazy. My hands also ballooned up pretty good. Overall I thought the course was great, aside from the few uphill parts that tested not only my physical strength, but also my mental.

I ran a marathon a couple of months ago, and thought my stamina would be carried over petty well. It was not. I would always recommend to set a plan and stick with it. I use an app on my phone (Nike run) that reminds me at whatever time I set it for that I have a run that day. I would encourage people doing this race to work hills. Up and down. The course is mostly downhill, but the up hills come at you hard.

The starting line is cold, but the rest of the race was beautiful.

Did not run even close to my PR but considering I have only been able to run twice in the last three weeks due to injury, I had a fun run and loved all the support from all the volunteers! There is always next year to beat my PR. Thanks to Alta View Hospital for the albuterol for my sick lungs!!!

NO

would still love more of the half to be in the canyon but still great.

Trained great all spring had a PR in the Drop 13 but then got pheumonia and was not able to train the month of August. Tried to run tried to run 15 to 20 tried to run 15 to 20 miles a week.

Just try it!

We have a home up Big Cottonwood, so I sleep until 5:45 so nice!

5/5 Stars

The course was so unique. Everyone is bussed up the mountain, then the course is almost completely downhill. Scenery is spectacular because of the massive mountains on either side of the road.

Dress in layers. The start is cold and quickly into the run the sun comes out and you will need to discard a layer. Bythe time you are out of the mountains you are in direct sunlight, running on asphalt roads. You will need to be in your barest layers of running clothes for the last 7 miles.

Louisville, KY
Salt Lake City is so beautiful. And driving the course is spectacular!! We are spending the week in Zion National Park.
