Describe your race day.
Great race,,,,superb course and weather,,,,I want every serious runner to know this Revel Rocks the Marathon. Course support, logistics, crowds at the end, after race medals and volunteers, check in, it all was great. Hope next year grows bigtime as Revel deserves, just keep the price realistic and runners will be begging to get in...........thanks for a great day, I did ok but three marathons in three months took its toll, but I still BQ'd, M.

Did you PR?
didnt PR but did BQ, even better.......missed pr by 15 minutes but its been quite a few years
-
How would you describe the course?
A bit steep at the beginning but definately a fast course overall as downhill training is a must to do well here, scenic until 21, then typical suburbs finish but still good.
-
Tell us about your training.
did downhill long run repeats for this course and it definately helped during and afterwards, much less soreness
-
What advice would you give future runners?
look forward to running fast and smooth as long as they train long downhills and uphills for this course, also dress in layers, sunglasses, long sleeve shirt, marathon type shoes not flats, salt tablets as they are not provided on course
-
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?
did the usual Blackjack tables, cleaned out Vegas,,,I wish, just resting up for the race as it was I day in and out. Glad the weather was good. Came from San Diego
see above comments, it about covers the race from my point of view
