5/5 Stars

Woke up early, panicked the weather forecast but went anyway. Glad I did. It was very rewarding crossing the finish line. Hurt like hell that night but was an awesome run.

Yes. Made it in 4:17 gun time, previous best was 4:50 in Phoenix. Did not qualify.

Can see for miles, few climate zones. Didn't expect the snow though and it to level out the last 5 miles or so -- was really tough after 20 miles of downhill. About the right amount of water stops and restrooms.

Used to run a few half marathons and a marathon each month then did some hiking. My recommendation is endurance/or hike or trail run steep hills to get through any discomfort/ this race was a quad buster.

Pay attention to the weather forecast! But if the weather at the start sucks and at the end is perfect, it'll just make you run faster!

Before: Ate a ton of carbs/gambled. After: Gambled/had a few drinks.

Yes, my first BQ.

This course was FAST. I think it is faster than the Canyon City course due to the constant downhill grade and absence of any major uphill sections. The second half of Canyon City can be treacherous.

Train on downhills and build up quad strength at the gym

Be prepared for the heat. We had perfect conditions this year but I imagine typical weather this time of year could be uncomfortable near the finish. Wear Hoka One One shoes to minimize impact of downhill on your knees.

I got my PR. Very organized and well ran event. Loved the photo ops at the end.

Yes

Half Marathon was not very scenic and I thought it would be more of a downhill.

5/5 Stars

Well run. Very fast downhill course. Wish the Gel was easier to find at the stations but otherwise no complaints.

No.

Very nice course. Fast. Last miles along freeway weren't great but it didn't take away from all that came before.

Didn't have enough time to train this season and it showed. The downhill killed my legs, so need more hill training.

It was amazing amazing overall the first miles when suddenly it started snowing

Yessss :) last year in Chicago was 3.50 and now in Mount Charleston is 3.26 yuhuuuuuu :) and obviously I have a Guarantee BQ :)

Everything is amazing, the weather was perfect, the downhill was quiet, I loved the scenery

Maybe I have to work more my force in my legs and core. This is very important if you run downhills

I just come from MEXICO :) I hope more Mexicans come to run it, maybe you need a little more promotion and sure Mexicans will love it, I'm writing to my blogger friend to tell about it

One amazing day from start to finish. Excellent buses, clean, comfortable and on time. Staging area for the start was well organized. The course was clean and well marked and aid station were every 2 miles or less. The finish area was a fun festival. Huge medal. plenty of water, and cool towels. I loved the pizza and pie. Great Job all around.

Better, I BQed. I am Boston bound again. I came to get 3:30 and I ended up with 3:16

This is one of the fastest courses in the nation. Gentle downhill all the way. Clean, great support, very safe, well marked, aid stations and bathrooms.

I was training for a sub 3:30 and I included some downhill training. I added time at the gym as well.

Register early and guarantee a spot in this marathon. Train well, and user the training program offered by Revel.

I hang out with so many friends, and some cool super heroes. Took tons of pictures.

What a day! I knew at the BEAUTIFUL start, the effort was already worth it. A little snow for first miles and some sun at finish, MAGICAL! The course, volunteers, race officials, law enforcement, etc - - ALL FIRST CLASS!

No, but close and had a great time while running a fast time.

Beautiful, majestic, of course VERY FAST.

Training allows for more fun on race day. Nailed it.

Revel = fast, fun and not too big (think R-n-R).

Visited family. Vegas buffet. From SoCal.

Awesome!! You guys rock! Great coordination from coach bus transportation, plenty of outhouses, volunteer supports from drink stations free pictures, massage, traffic control, cheer crowd, medics I'm sold. Looking forward for the next one. Highly recommended to my friends.

Yes. I set a half marathon of 2:30! And that was achieved.

Great scenery, with gradually down sloping course, you can easily turn on your cruise control and just coast to your target PR.

I ran 3x a week, 7miles each around my neighborhood. I ride my bike with my friends and would cycle anywhere from 20 hard miles to 50miles on Sunday. And all these work well for my half marathon.

Dress as few layers as you can handle for the type of weather you will encounter. Get your feet comfortable by selecting proper shoe size and wear thick socks.

I checked in at The Resorts at Mt Charleston for 3nights and enjoy nature. I am from NLV

This is my 4th Revel race. Once again you didn't disappoint. I'm looking forward to next year already. Don't change a thing if you can help it.

10 minute PR
Qualified for Boston by 29 minutes!

This is by far your easiest and fastest course. Combined with perfect racing weather. Can't tell you how happy it made me to start in a snow shower and end in warm spring conditions.

I did my training on your Canyon City course where I live.

Hill train your legs...uphill and downhill to build quad and glute strength.

Vegas show, buffet and gambling.

Dress light and have good shoes

Ate lunch with my friends
