Describe your race day.

It was great! Transportation to the start line was smooth. I would like to remind you to start the race with the traditional of signing the National anthem. Please do not neglect this very important aspect. Well the route was scenic and easy to handle. The safety of runners was adequate and can be improved. The finish line was good with booths behind. Oh, dear I can't say more about transportation back to our cars. Weldone REVEL!! I will be there in 2019, I promise.. I love your race and this was my 1st.
Did you PR?

Yes, I did. The down slope race helped to get my PR of 2:50. Very proud of that.
How would you describe the course?

Nice and easy. Very scenic. Elevation was good
Tell us about your training.

I train in the city of Loma Linda with the Loma Linda Lopers.
I would like to see the First Aide (Medic) station not right there with the water station and porter potties it was just too crowded. Spread the First Aide a little away from all that PLEASE.
What advice would you give future runners?

To those who are not training in a club/team of marathon racing Please do not take the down slope race for granted. Train, train and avoid injuries. Very important! Check your weather and dress appropriately.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

I live locally and train locally, so after race went home.
