      Fantastic! It was one of the most organized and fun race events I have attended. I will definitely be back!

    4. How would you describe the course?

      Fun, gorgeous, fast, favorite one in Utah.

      Didn't train at all - nope. Nada. I don't recommend that strategy.

      To do this race!! So fun. Great atmosphere. Friendly staff and volunteers. Amazing pacers!

    2. Describe your race day.

      It was amazing. Everyone seamed very coordinated; the volunteers and people working the event. There wasn't any confusion about where to go. The whole attmosphere was positive, which made for an enjoyable day.

    3. Did you PR?

      No. But I finished within the time frame I set for myself.

    4. How would you describe the course?

      The scenery was breath taking. The grade and elevation were not that bad. Because there was so much to look at my mind wasn't focused on the road.

    5. Tell us about your training.

      I ran 3 days a week totaling 20- 30 miles. I strength trained by going to Pure Barre 3 days a week and rested 1 day a week. I used my fitness pal to keep track of my nutrition. I have to actually make sure I eat enough when I run because it decreases my appetite. When I did long runs I would use GU. I need to figure out my portions for the GU because if I eat too much it upsets my stomache.

    6. What advice would you give future runners?

      Definitely find some sort of training plan and go at a pace that's right for you. Everyone runs on a different level. It's good to push yourself, but not to the point of injury.

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

      I live in Herriman Utah, so I went home and took a nap!

    2. Describe your race day.

      First half. Beautiful scenery. Perfect weather. Very organized. Aid stations awesome. No complaints! Great day!

    3. Did you PR?

      First race but I was very happy with my results.

    4. How would you describe the course?

      Parts of it were pretty steep but very beautiful. We are from TX so it was hard to train for the hills, but actually didn't botger me too much. Pretty sore but I expected that.

    5. Tell us about your training.

      Just did a lot of walking /running. Started early, took it easy 3 days before race. Ate a light but filling meal the night before. Again, it was my first one so I'm just learning.

    6. What advice would you give future runners?

      We drove. Probably fly next time. Check out all the cool gadgets at the EXPO. I got some awesome things. Don't wear, eat or adjust your normal routine. 'If it ain't broke , don't fix it'.

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

      We drove from TX. We have kids and friends here, so we hung out with them.

      Yes, 1 minute. No-

    4. How would you describe the course?

      Scenic, comfortable elevation.

    5. Tell us about your training.

      Running up and down mountain trails. I would've starTed training earlier for a better pace. Start training early and practice on inclines and declines!

      Bring something to keep you warm before start, wear good shoes, use body glide, pace yourself, stop for water when you need to, and definitely train!

      N/A

      PERFECT! The course, logistics, and volunteers were absolutely amazing! It was so worth it!

      The the course and the views. There should have been an MC to start the race.

      Hiked. It could have been nice for you to do a pre race dinner for purchase to meet others and direct participants to a happy hour to celebrate post race... You could get more sponsors and make more memories for others. I am visiting from Orlando.
