5/5 Stars
Awesome!! Absolutely beautiful!! And the race is so well organized. Loved every minute!
A-mazing!! I had done the half marathon before. Full marathon was even better. I've been running marathons for 14 years and this is, by far, my favorite. So well organized. Such a beautiful course. And so fast!
Yes! 3:28. My previous best was 3:46.
I love downhill courses. If you can figure out a way to cut out any uphill, I would like it even more.
Training for downhill is hard. I usually run UP Farmington canyon, to run back DOWN. The uphill is good training, but sort of changes muscle structure - and consumes most of the time. I haven't figured out a way to do all downhill training yet. Let me know if you have ideas!
Good weather early, but I can imagine it could be reallllly cold this time of year, especially with rain. So I would say dress super warm in the morning. Train downhill, to get the callouses instead of blistering out. Go all out on the downhills to get ahead for the flats and uphills.
Drove in from Farmington this morning. Took about 40 min to drive. Buses were well organized. You guys do a really good job. Give yourself a pat on the back! Also - thanks for the blanket, gloves, head band, all the extras in the swag bag. Makes the marathon really great.
See you next year!
I ran down the canyon... Haha and it was beautiful and cold, the way I like it!
yes by 5 minutes, 1:33:20
all down hill, fun
i had a long run each week up and down hill. I built up those runs and then tapered down a few weeks before the race. I do hill and speed workouts sometimes. I have about 3 rest days or more per week
The second line is actually the finish. That was confusing after running a hard race. I sprinted to the end and caught some people, but I wasn't sure if I crossed unhealthy line in the moment. Make sure shoes are a good fit. I ran in somewhat new shoes and got blisters on my toes because they squished them. Don't wear extra clothing, then you'll have to carry it. You'll be warm enough running. Give it your all down the steep parts. Let loose and let gravity take you down!
I'm going to school in Provo , but from Alaska. I just hung out with friends
Beautiful run and a great downhill race.
It was a post baby PR by 2 minutes.
Fast and beautiful.
I don't train. I keep running so I don't have to.
Don't assume downhill is cake. You need to train down hill or you will be sorry!
I woke up and fed a baby...then travel from the far off land of South Jordan.

Loved the course! The organization was great, expect for at the starting line.
It was my first half marathon, so I guess so! I ran it in 1:43, which is just a couple minutes faster than I was hoping for!
Everything was fantastic . The volunteers were awesome! The weather was stunningly perfect. I met a girl Sabrina from Palm Beach area and she already did the Center of the Nation. I am doing those races THIS Monday through Friday.
No I set a personnel worst due to Porta potty issues!
Scenic and tough on the quads#YEOW
Did long runs on the weekend but played tennis and golf during the week!
Downhill is tough. Do some up and down stair climbing if you don't have hills like UTAH.
We are going to Yellowstone. We came fom Michigan and I am trying to complete all fifty state half marathons before I die!
Awesome
Yes
Sweet
Go have fun
So well organized! Super volunteers! Could you turn the night temp down?
I did not-I wanted to qualify but missed it by 7 minutes. The last eight mes kill me
Gorgeous-my favorite marathon course!
Three-four days a week-limited downhill.
Was great until there was a right turn at the bottom of the canyon
No, I missed it by 1 frigging minute. Thanks for asking. (Sarcasm)
Downhill.
I did a lot running.
Take a car.
I was going to have a massage, but they stopped allowing peple in the line as I was walking up due to the therapists being in the sun too long.
I don't want to leave a comment.
Perfect day! I don't know how you do it, but I have run this race for three years in a row and the weather is always perfect! I love how much you put into the race and make it such a fun experience! Thank you!
Sadly but no - maybe one of these days!
Beautiful! I love running down Big Cottonwood Canyon - and the road to the finish line is great - since it is mostly downhill as well.
I would do more hill training! Both up and down.
Dress warm at the top - but plan for a hot finish if you are as slow as I am!
I love the way you provide the race results - you just make the whole thing so special! I only traveled from West Valley City.
Please thank the volunteers - they are all so amazing!
