5/5 Stars
Perfectly executed. I wish somebody hadn't brought out the beach balls because I was afraid of being hit and injured before a race I intended to achieve my PR.
Yes, by over 20 seconds.
Satisfyingly challenging.
I trained on mile hill repeats and did a route preview.
Train for hills and transitioning to flats.
N/A
No beach balls next year!
The place ..... is beautiful!
I reach my goal 8 mins. a mile and improved it
nice and easy.... would be better in a flat terrain or using the center of the road cause the left leg suffers a little bit more the impact of the road.
didn't train as much as I should.
be kind to all runners
went to explore the river. is nice!
Save the energy....last two miles may be the harder.

Suggest you add to the race materials a note that the bus ride is 45 minutes to the starting line of the half marathon and time to drive to the full marathon start as well.
Not much
There were no spectators or people cheering for the entire course which was both surprising and a little disheartening.
On the plus side, there were a lot of water stations.
No vegetarian pizza was surprising - all cheese would have been better than all pepperoni.
May want to let runners know that GPS (on phones) will likely not work for the first half of the race so people can download music instead of streaming it.
Yes I set a new pr by over 3 minutes in the half marathon! I dropped from 1:44 to 1:41.
Scenic. Rolling hills for first 8 miles.
Tempo runs are critical. I ran the first 10 miles of the course 6 weeks out and GMR 4 weeks out. While it's a downhill profile there are hills so make sure you train for them.
Chilly at the beginning but perfect running weather once you get started. I wore a Hokas and loved them. Pretty race for a road marathon.
I live in Glendora
Yes
Fair, Rolling

Don't go out too fast
Ate/Movies. Traveled from Arizona
I love it! Its my first time but I love it and Im going to sign up again for next year.
NO, not yet but next year I will try under 2 hrs.That's my goal.
It was hard but I would love to do it again.
I didn't train myself. But next year I will.
I don't have any because I myself still learning how to do better and what to expect. Clothing I wouldn't wear long sleeves.
I went watch a movie and enjoying eating at pho express restaurant.
I really enjoyed the first half, which was a cruise. The heat was a factor in second half.
No
I loved it. Beautiful.
It went well. I have no complaints.
Pay heed to the heat.
I met with some old friends.
Race was great, Picking up drop bags was nightmare. Otherwise a great experience
No. Not close to PR. Did half marathon. Was not attempting a Boston qualifier
Scenic and great course.
Trained on Hills (not as steep). Felt ready for the run. Would train at altitude
Grea trun, great course definitely put on race calendar
Nothing much. Arrived for expo, ran next day, then drove back to Sacramento
better drop bag coordination
It was great. Everyone was super helpful and nice. The only Ayer table at the start line was super thoughtful
Yes! I PR by 10 minutes
It was great, though the last 5K was a bit of a challenge because it was all flat and I couldn't get momentum going
Bring your emergency blanket because it's going to be cold in the morning at the start!!
This was my half-marathon #22 but 1st time running Revel. Totally impressed! Love the route and awesome views!
No I did not.
It was a runner's route. Downward race with a chunk or two hills for the half. But overall, the route was scenic and fast!
I was coming back to running after a five year burn out. This was my first race after the burnout. I ran with a running group and did strength training on the side to be able to work on the hills. The only way to improve oneself is to train hard, run easy :-)
Your body heats up fast when you run. Don't wrap yourself too much. Hydrate. Hydrate. Hydrate regardless of the temperature. And lastly, enjoy the run!
Enjoyed watching the sun rise at the start line. It was nice!
Looking forward to 2017 Revel Canyon City Race!
