REVEL Mt Hood Race InformationQuick Info
Runner PerksIn addition to offering a fully-supported run down an incredibly beautiful canyon and getting the best PR opportunity you may ever have, we strive to make REVEL Mt Hood even more memorable with the additional perks listed below. Free Photos & Personalized VideosThere will be photographers at multiple locations along the course to take pictures of your race experience. Be sure to smile big, make a tough face, or strike a pose for the cameras as you go by. Please make sure your bib is visible as well. Photographers will also be at the finish to capture your sprint across the line and take your photos in front of our backdrops. All race photos will be provided for free. We will also use photos you select to create a personalized highlight video for you. It is crazy to pay $50 to $100 for a single image download like you may have experienced before. Your memories are on us! Your photos will be made available shortly after the race along with your results on the results page. You will receive a link via email a few weeks after the event to select the photos for your video. Check out the following personalized video sample: 
MedalsMedals are provided to all participants as you cross the finish line. Our race medals are not your run-of-the-mill awards. We award huge, high-quality medals that are equal to your effort. These are certain to win a place at the top of your medal collection. See samples of medals from other REVEL races below. 
  ShirtsEvery participant will receive a high-quality, gender-specific race shirt. We guarantee that this will be a shirt you'll want to keep, and maybe purchase an extra or two. During registration you can select between a long sleeve, short sleeve, tank or ultra soft tri-blend shirt. Select the size of shirt you want, but don't sweat it if you're not sure about sizing. You can try it on at the expo, and if it doesn't fit you can exchange it for a better size, subject to availability. We don't want you to be stuck with a shirt that doesn't fit! SwagREVEL swag and sponsor swag will be available for pick-up at the expo. In addition to other items, all runners will receive a pair of gloves and a mylar blanket to be used in case of cold weather. Iced towels will be given to all runners as they cross the finish line. Finish Line FestivitiesOnce you cross the finish line, stick around and enjoy the exciting atmosphere at the finish. Runners will be greeted with some great food as you celebrate your achievement with friends and family. Check out the vendor booths, get a photo in front of our beautiful backdrops, give a hand to the rest of the runners coming in, and attend the awards ceremonies to congratulate the winners. Transfer, Withdrawal & Deferral PolicyWe understand that things come up, which is why we try to be as flexible and accommodating as possible. We allow runners to transfer between distances (half to full or full to half), transfer their entry to another individual, defer to another event, defer to next year and even withdraw from the race if their plans change. Visit our withdrawal, transfer & deferral page for more details. TravelRental Cars

ExpoThe REVEL Mt Hood Expo will be held on Friday, June 25, 2021 from 10:00AM - 6:00PM at the Oregon Convention Center 777 NE Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, Portland, OR 97232. REVEL's Online Coach, Paul Carmona will speak at 10:45AM and 1:30PM at the Expo & Packet Pick-Up. A photo ID is required to pick up your race bag. We will allow individuals to pick up someone else's bag, but will require a digital or hardcopy of the person's ID and a written note authorizing them to do so. If you will be arriving in town after the expo is closed or are otherwise unable to attend the expo, you may elect to pick up your packet and bag on race morning or have it shipped to you for an additional fee. This option may be selected during registration. Parking & BusingREVEL Mt Hood is a point-to-point course, and as such we will bus you to the start line. The cost of busing is included in your entry fees. You do not need to reserve a spot on the bus, as your bib is your ticket to ride. ALL PARTICIPANTS must take a bus to the start lines (you may not park at or be dropped off at the start lines). Race parking will be available at a site near the finish line at Sandy High School 37400 Bell St, Sandy, OR 97055. All parking is free.
All buses to the start lines will depart from the race parking area. Full Marathon buses will load and depart from 3:00-4:15 AM, depending on your wave start time. Half Marathon buses will load and depart from 4:00-4:45 AM. Please make sure that you are on time and that you get on the right bus! Staff will be on hand to help direct runners and ensure that parking and busing runs smoothly.
Spectators may also park at the same location as runners. From approximately 6:00 AM to 1:00 PM there will be a continuous shuttle between the race finish line and the race parking site. Spectators can take the free shuttle between the finish line and the parking site. Runners will also take the free shuttle from the finish line back to the parking site. Any spectators attempting to access the finish venue in their vehicles will be turned away and instructed to park at Sandy High School and take the free shuttle in to the finish venue. Drop BagsYou will receive a race bag when you pick up your packet at the expo. This bag is for you to take to the starting areas. A number that matches your race bib will be put on the outside of your race bag. This is to identify your bag at the finish area after the race, and you will need your bib to prove ownership of your bag when you pick it up. Please carry any belongings to the starting area in this bag, as opposed to any other personal bags, which cannot be identified by your race number. Bags must be placed in the bag trucks at the starting areas at least 15 minutes prior to the race start. Start & Finish AreasStart AreasThe half marathon begins roughly 3 miles up Lolo Pass Rd. Runners will stage at the private property located at 20325 E Lolo Pass Road before the race begins. The full marathon begins near the southern end of the Timberline parking area. Runners will stage in the lower parking area before the race begins. Porta-potties, water, BODYARMOR, basic first aid items, and last-minute instructions will be provided at the starting areas. While we will provide gloves and mylar blankets, we highly recommend that you come prepared for cold temperatures at the start line by layering and then shedding your layers to put in your drop bag just before the race begins. Finish AreaThe finish line is located at the Rainbow Trout Farm at 52560 E Sylvan Dr, Sandy, OR 97055. The finisher's area will be packed with food, massage, awards ceremonies, vendor booths, and more.
Timing & BibsTimingThe races will be chip-timed using timing tags adhered to the back of your bib. Your time will begin when you cross the starting line, not at the start gun, and will stop when you cross the finish line. Overall prize winners (top 3 in each race) will be determined by gun time, not chip time. Please do not tamper with the timing chips, as they cannot be replaced once linked to your bib number. BibsBecause the timing tag is adhered to the back of your race bib, it is important that you do not cover your bib with clothing or other objects that may interfere with the tag reader when you are crossing the start and finish lines. Furthermore, in order to ensure that race volunteers, officials, and photographers can properly identify you, you must wear your bib on the front of your person in an unobstructed position. If the photographers along the course can not see your bib number, we will have no way to get your photos to you. Aid StationsAid stations will be located approximately every two miles along the courses. All aid stations will be supplied with BODYARMOR Orange Mango electrolyte drinks, water, porta-potties, and basic first aid supplies. Additionally, various aid stations will be supplied with Honey Stinger energy gels, fruit, and medical personnel.
Safety & MedicalCourse SafetyWhile on Timberline Highway, full marathon runners must stay in the southbound lane and shoulder; runners are not allowed to use any portion of the northbound lane of Timberline Highway. While on US Highway 26, all runners must stay in the westbound shoulder only; runners may not use any portion of any lane on US Highway 26. Any runner found encroaching into the open traffic lanes will be immediately disqualified from the race. Runners are encouraged to wear bright and/or reflective gear for increased visibility and safety.
Due to the constraints of the permits for the Mt. Hood course, participants are not allowed to run with traditional in-ear headphones on Timberline Highway or Highway 26 (the first 25.5 miles of the full marathon and miles 10-12.5 of the half marathon). Note that this restriction does NOT apply to the first 10 miles of the half marathon route. Out-of-ear headphones such as Aftershokz bone conduction headphones are allowed all along the course. Visit aftershokz.com and use code "REVEL" at checkout to save $50 off Trekz Titanium + Trekz Air Bundles. Runners found wearing traditional in-ear headphones on restricted portions of the course will be disqualified. Local authorities may be monitoring the course to ensure the rule is adhered to. Race volunteers and police officers will be present at all major intersections and turns on the courses to guide runners and stop traffic when necessary. Please follow their directions at all times in order to ensure your safety. Medical Assistance Provided By American Medical ResponseAmerican Medical Response (AMR) is the official medical provider for the race. Each aid station will be supplied with a first-aid kit that will include items such as bandages, moleskin, vaseline, anti-inflammatories, etc. If you are in need of any of these items, simply stop and ask the volunteers at the aid station and they will be able to help you. In addition to the first-aid kits, various aid stations will be staffed by medical professionals from AMR, who will be equipped with advanced medical supplies. See the Aid Stations. section for more details. Multiple sag wagons and ambulances will be roaming the course as well to respond to any emergencies and transport runners who cannot continue to the finish line. A full-service medical tent will also be at the finish line, staffed by our great partners at AMR. Pacing & Time LimitsTime LimitsBecause the roads used for the race must be re-opened for normal traffic patterns, we are required to set course time limits that must be strictly adhered to. The course time limit for the race is based on a 15:00 minute per mile pace, which is a light jog. This equates to a 6:33 marathon and a 3:15 half marathon. Please note Miles 5 to 25.5 of the Marathon and Miles 10 to 12.5 of the Half Marathon route are an open road course along Highway 26. Runners must stay in the shoulder and be vigilant of the normal flowing traffic around them. Due to the permits and traffic participants are not allowed to run with traditional headphones. Bone transfer headphones are allowed. Runners found wearing headphones will be disqualified. Local authorities may be monitoring the course to ensure the rule is adhered to. Runners are encouraged to wear bright and/or reflective gear for increased visibility and safety. Those who are unable to maintain the required pace must consent to be picked up by an escort vehicle and escorted to the finish venue, where they will still be allowed to receive a medal. Based on the USATF certification standards the course is measured on tangents or SPR-Shortest Possible Route. Therefore if you run on the inside or outside line the entire length of the race your GPS may reflect a distance slightly greater than 13.1 or 26.2. PacersPacers will be running both the full marathon and half marathon to lead everyone to a fast time. The half marathon will include pacers at the following paces:
Because the full marathon has waves starts, pacers will be assigned to the following waves:
WeatherAlthough we cannot predict the weather, we can provide some historical weather averages for the area on the date of the race:
Please remember that these are average temperatures for Mt Hood Village, OR, and that temperatures may be considerably cooler in the morning at the start lines. While we will provide gloves and mylar blankets, we highly recommend that you come prepared for cold temperatures at the start line by layering and then shedding your layers to put in your drop bag just before the race begins. Spectator LocationsBecause of special traffic restrictions that will be in place all along the race course, spectators are NOT allowed to meet up with their runners at any point on the course other than the finish line. Runners whose spectators park along the course or slow their vehicles alongside the course risk disqualification from the race. Please remember that NO PARKING whatsoever is available at the finish line or around the finish area. Any spectators who attempt to access the finish area on Sylvan Drive will be directed to exit the area and park at Sandy High School to utilize the free shuttle back to the finish area.
