Describe your race day.
This was my 4th year running the Revel Rockies Half Marathon. I have loved Revel since that first year, and think it has only gotten better and better and more "fine tuned" with each race!! I have also run Revel Big Cottonwood and am signed up to run next year's Revel Mt. Charleston. This year was no exception...Revel Rockies did not disappoint. Everything was well organized and well done! The buses to the start line were lined up and ready to go, and there were tons of them! We didn't even have to wait...just got on a bus and headed right up to Evergreen! The start line area was large enough to accommodate all of the half marathoners. I appreciate that there is water available and music to get us pumped up. The porta potty set up was a little confusing this year and they probably should've been set up in a straight line instead of the way they were. It created confusion as two lines started at either side, and the one line couldn't see the other which created people going for the same one at the same time from two different directions. (This is really my only gripe.) The course is well marked, and right on as far as my Garmin was concerned. Lots of course support, aid stations and porta potties along the way! The course is beautifully breathtaking and a perfect place to run this race. The uphill at the finish is a little "mean"...lol...but we all survived it! The medals are always fantastic, well designed and my some of my all time favorite medals. Kuddos to you guys on the medal again this year. It is stunning! The pizza and pie at the finish were such a bonus! Gear check is always a smooth process, and I have never had any qualms with leaving my bag. I have never had any issues with it! Well done on that too!
