5/5 Stars
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!
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.
4/5 Stars
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
Amazing experience. From the shuttles to the staging area, with the start & all of the support on the course this race has been my favorite marathon to date. Bag pick up was easy and efficient, and the volunteers were knowledgeable and most hospitable. Thank you for a great race!
Yes! Came in in three hours flat and earned a BQ! My previous PR was 3:05:12
Great. Enjoyed the views, the downhill grades and miles 18-23 wasn't as bad as I thought. Thank goodness for mile 24! That downhill stretch was a saving grace and the finishing chute support was awesome!
I didn't start training for this race til about 4 weeks ago. Got in one long run at 6700 ft altitude. The downhill profile helped make up for a lack of thorough training :)
Include downhill to uphill segments in your training. I passed a lot of marathoners between miles 19-23, who seemed to let the change in profile affect their race paces.
Nothing yet, I flew in the evening before. Looking forward to trying the local beer tonight! Came from Hesperia CA
