5/5 Stars
This is the second year I've done this race (half) and I absolutely loved the course, the swag, the weather! Everything added up to a perfect race environment
YES! I set a PR that was 3 minutes faster than my previous time - perfect course for obtaining my goal of under 2 hours for the half
Downhill, curvy, and gorgeous. There is only one true hill on the half and that is at the very beginning, the rest of the course provides beautiful views of the mountains and river, going downhill the rest of the way.
I didn't train any differently for this than any other race
If you are looking to PR in a beautiful setting, this is the race to do
Breakfast in Morrison at TNT - nice spot on the patio to cool down after the finish
Thanks for a great race!
Amazing experience!
yes, 8:06 . yes , I did qualify for the Boston Marathon
Amazing, and wonderful views.
I swim, ran, bike and did cross fit training for 6 months. I did 4 run 4 races in four weekends, a 5k, 10k, a half marathon 13er. and this marathon. I obtained 2nd place my age group in the half, ran the Bolder Boulder in 49:19 and 3rd place my age division in this marathon .
Work hard for your goals, at the end you would see the pay off of all the work.
I walked around and enjoy the positive energy environment.
I would do it again!!
great experience, well organized, aid stations were excellent & easier to access
great course, smooth run with the creek flowing along side
plan to do again next year. :-)
great support /aid stations & smooth finishing area
4/5 Stars
First of all the views were incredible ,what a beautiful course.I am working on my BQ and this series will get me there. My race calendar is full this year but there will be 3-4 revel races on my 2018 calendar. This was a well organized race and everything was smooth. The weather was PERFECT.
I set my PR by an amazing 24 minutes. I am 17 minutes away from my BQ time now
Some great down hill stretches but some uphill as well. Winding down the mountains thru the best scenery Colorado has to offer
I do a lot of base miles and strength training. Need to do speed training
Might want to run faster than usual pace the first few miles because you are really going downhill to make up for the uphill segments
Enjoyed the day. From the eastern plains of Colorado
People are very nice and out-of-the-way to help racer enjoy the race
Not really
Good course
I should've had train little bit better for downhill
Train little bit better For downhill Keep your posture
Add my son Friends over had lunch was fun day
Just incredible scenery, perfect temps and great volunteers at plentiful aid stations. Great race!
No- wasn't my intent.
Weather was great well organized buses on timeBeautiful views
Yes I was 10 minutes faster I did not qualify for Boston
Beauto full course but difficult on my quads I did not train enough for the downhill
I followed basic training plan but as stated earlier i did not run enough downhill
I enjoyed the previous race music
Well organized and enjoyed the swag and friendly atmosphere
It was beautiful. Great scenery. Great race. Great organization. Great medals. Great volunteers. Loved the beer at the end. I was on a team, which was fun....We all had matching shirts. (Team Johnny and the Jets).
Nope
Beautiful, hilly.
Did squats, lunges! Helped.
Hills, lots of hills. Go early for parking.
I live here
Highly recommend.
Highly recommend! It is a beautiful challenge.
My day was great from the start to the finish. Since I was from out of town I stayed at the host hotel Hampton Inn. The bus to the start from the hotel was perfect. God makes such beauty, the course was breathe taking. the weather was great and to enjoy the course. A thank you to the 2:30 pacer and the people around him who kept me entertained the first half of the course. I felt so good I beat 2:30
No , but I hadn't run under 2:30 for several races.
It was good but I kept moving from side to side because of uneven curves. But it was not bad. The scenery was worth it all!
We have a few mountains trails that I practiced up and down. But it's only 5 miles If any advice maybe find a longer down hill trail.
Stay at host hotel , enjoying the Cow Eatery check out the local breweries,( my husband doesn't run but enjoys the beers) lol
Shopping of course. Went to red rock Heading to pikes pick. I drove from El Paso TX
