5/5 Stars
I loved running through the clouds. Just a great coincidence with the weather :)
Loved the idea of an outdoor expo, too bad it was rainy and soggy.
Yes! PR'd by 7 minutes and BQ'd by 16 seconds.
Course was great. Could you please change the pacers to 2 minutes under BQ? For example, 3:38 pacers, as opposed to 3:40 pacers. I ended up looking back to make sure they were not catching up to me.
I didn't do much long downhill training but I think it worked to my advantage since today I am walking like a duck. If I did that in training I would've had to sit out for one week to recover.
Hot tub, hot tub and more hot tub. The downtown Redlands area was happening on Sunday at brunch.

Beautiful views, great motivational signs all along the course!
Trained for a 6 hour marathon and finished in 5:34! Felt great the entire run and never hit the dreaded wall!
The scenery was absolutely gorgeous! The downhill was gradual but fast!
I did a lot of downhill training. Ran up hill to get to the downhill and even did some elevation training in Big Bear during our training. Followed a 16 week training program and I knew I was ready come race day!
I only live 25 miles from the bus loading area. But we did go out for a carb loading dinner the night before.
Overall a great run!
Yes!
Beautiful
Just do it
Please do this again next year !
Everything was seamless from the parking tothe bus ride to the drop bag pickup and shuttle post race. The frequent aid stations and porta-potties were excellent. Plenty of porta-potties pre-race, no wait
PR by a bit over 10 minutes. Biggest thing was I easily broke my 2 hour goal in the half for the first time
Loved the downhill, gentle slopes, not too steep. Missed the downhill the last 3 miles!
Train on hills, up and down. Feel this prepares me for anything.
Thanks for the gloves and pre-race blanket. Didn’t anticipate the cold. For the half wore long sleeved tee, would probably been ok with a short sleeve. Wore running capris. Stayed in a motel close by-make reservations early
Excellent experience, will probably do it again next year with more family members
Great race
4/5 Stars
Enjoyed the race overall. Packet pick up race morning was a nightmare. The parking area was huge and there were no instructions where the pick up location was. It took me 20minutes of walking around to find a girl standing on a corner with a few boxes. No sign. No lights. Poorly thought out.
No PR. About 12 minutes off. Not trying to BQ.
First 20 miles were beautiful with a very nice easy downhill grade. Last 6 miles were mostl flat and definitely not scenic.
20-25 miles/week trailrunning
Carry your own fuel. Most of the aid stations didn’t have any.
None
Awesome weather, incredibly scenic course. Well organized. Fun atmosphere at the finish line. Race busses offered from big bear and Redlands, so you have a choice of two different towns to explore.
Yes by 9 minutes
Scenic, all downhill with the exception of two small rolling hills. Waterfalls, aspen groves, and a lot of pine trees. Very organized.
Stay in big bear! Beautiful small mountain town
Great race day course with lots of water stations. The weather was perfect and the swag was outstanding. Thank you for the oranges and bananas on the race course. Everyone was so friendly and encouraging. This may be my favorite race! See you next year
Yes. My PR was 2 minutes faster/mile.
The course was fast. The elevation perfect. The scenery was outstanding.

Be ready for a PR.
Enjoyed the post race with pizza, chocolate milk, cold towels, water, bananas, etc. Thank you! I am local and traveled from Highland.
My only request would be to hold traffic better coming down the hill. It got crowded on the right side of the road with runners passing each other and cars coming from behind. Thank you.
Thank you for a well organized race.
Very organized on the bus pickup, gear drop-off and aid-stations were fully stacked. Most beautiful course on the first 3/4 of the race.
No, but happy with my finish time.
Fast and scenic.
I trained a lot of downhill intervals and it showed the training worked.
Train both uphills and downhills, as well as flats as the last few miles are basic all flat.
Had a nice meal near the packet pick-up. The olive and citrus restaurant is fantastic.
Very well organized, beautiful scenery, great swag. This was my first Revel, but I can’t wait to do more.
No, but I also didn’t train for this half due to health issues the past several months. This was a “for fun only” race. Just to myself back out there running. I had no time expectations. That being said, I did better than I expected. Only 3 minutes away from a PR!
The course was beautiful, and the race went by fast.
Unfortunately I wasn’t really able to train because of unexpected health issues. I was only able to incorporate 2 downhill, longish runs. I didn’t want to defer, so I just did it!
Do a lot of downhill training. I’m very sore. More sore than I am after a full marathon. Totally worth it though.
I spent time with family in Lake Arrowhead.
Revel is a class act. Great race policies, great swag and great locations.
Five stars!
Great aid stations and bathrooms. STARTED ON TIME. Wonderful event!
YES
Hard on knees. Super fast.
Anna the employee was super helpful with same-day pick up and coordination.
