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!

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.

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.

This race took my breath away! It is so beautiful and so fast! This is my third half marathon and by far my favorite! I shaved 15 mins off my last half marathon time! I will admit that at one point I started crying because the mountains were so beautiful! I can't wait to do this again!!!! The aid stations were very helpful and everything was amazing!

I shaved 15 mins off my last half marathon time! I finally got a time that I'm proud of.

The first 4 miles of the course were a gradual downhill and slow got faster and faster. The scenery was so beautiful that I didn't even think about the blisters that were waiting for me at the finish line. All in all it was amazing! A fast course with beautiful scenes... You couldn't ask for more!

I was actually pretty lazy with my training this time around. I did a couple of down hill runs and my longest training day was only 8 miles. I didn't feel as prepared as I would have liked to. But this course was so fast that I still PR'd!

All I can say is train as hard as you can! Prepare yourself mentally and physically and you will be successful. If I would have put more into my training I would have been even faster!

I live in draper Utah so I didn't have to travel for the race. I enjoyed all the activities they had at the expo center for the packet pick up and all the great treats at the end.

Beautiful first 18, amazingly well supported

Yes! 18 min off my time!

Amazing first, challenging out and back, hell finish. Need roads closed, running between two rows of cars sucks. A lot.

Trained like a boss

Run down the canyon in trainibg

I live here
