A bit too early for me but the overall event made it worthwhile. Good parking at Sandy HS, decent trip to start area. The start area was great, a big thank you for the porta potties at start area! Course was easy to navigate, volunteers and aid stations were great and finish area was spacious and welcoming.

Yes

Overall good but there was a couple small hills I didn’t realize in the half marathon.

My training wasn’t up to par. I didn’t get enough miles in or weekly long runs to Dad my best effort.

Realize there are a couple small hills and not to let them get in your head when you hit them as they will alter your pace.

Visited and made new friends

I loved it all! The Revel races just make me so happy! Such a fantastic series!

Yes by 3 min but 2 min shy of BQ.

Great! Was worried about the open road but it was not an issue and I felt safe the entire time. Wish the grade would have been the entire way. Lol. Most amazing views!

After 6 Revels I feel confident that I know how to train for these courses. I do a lot of downhill running and downhill sprints!

You must train your downhill muscles!!!

Oregon Trail center. Drove the course. Drove to Cannon Beach after the race! My sister and I came from Phoenix and my mom joined us from Nebraska!

Fantastic scenery and perfect weather.

I was within 3 minutes of my PR.

Fast, quiet and because of fewer runners very "relaxed".

I didn't do enough training. was traveling a lot the weeks before the race.

Went to see big park in Portland. Rose gardens

The view at the start was spectacular!

Oh heck no but that's my own fault

Beautiful track!

Came from Florida as I needed the state for the 50 states, loved mount hood wished the trails had not been closed but no control over that

It’s an early day with the commute from Portland. But I like that. Keep the time. Race went well. First half was great. Second half a little more challenging and a lot of traffic. Got a BQ time!

No. But I was happy with my time. It’s a fast course that lived up to it’s billing.

First half- great downhill, beautiful scenery, near perfect.
Second half- nice downhill, perhaps too much traffic???

Went well. Did some downhill training on trail, which helped.

At least some downhill training.

Stayed until Monday in downtown. Had a great time!

No. 8 min over my pr in revel vegas.

Very good. Last 4 miles wete tough. Elevation chart should be a little more accurate. That's juat my opinion

35-45 miles a week. Last 12 weeks were tough.

Visit downtown and lake trillium. Came from Riverside, California

4/5 Stars

good course. adequate aid station. nice finish line. little wonky with bus return - had to wait over 30 mins to get on bus shuttle back to Sandy. L

no

good course. Little too much downhill in beginning but fast course. little scary on open course where large trucks are zooming past you going 70 mph.

lots of trail running in middle of the day with temp >85. ran a few downhill training runs down big cottonwood

train downhill

nothing really. went to a midnight movie to see Mission Impossible 6 the night before race (Friday night) and stayed up to catch the bus after the so. had a flight back home immediately after the race.

Great day. Great downhill.

Yes, but did not qualify for Boston.

Great scenery the first 6 miles. After that, the highway is not very interesting.

Lots of downhill technique practice, which made a huge difference. Don't neglect some uphill training, as the final 8 miles or so feel like a climb.

Consider not carrying hydration, as the aid stations are frequent and well supplied. Go as light as possible! I carried a hand held water bottle and a few gummies, but by mile 13 was wishing I didn't have it. If one is sensitive to the heat, try to get into an earlier wave. I went in the last wave and by mile 20, it was getting pretty warm and runners were pretty exposed on the highway with little to no shade.

I traveled from Florence, Oregon with some of my teammates. We camped near the start and hung out at the campsite and also tried some good food at Wraptitude.

It was great to see my running family again this weekend.

No.

Typical NW run - rolling hills. Not the downhill I was promised.

I race most every weekend, so that is my training.

Skip it. There are other more scenic runs. Oregon marathon the weekend before has more downhill.

we live in WA state - driving to downtown Portland on a Friday night to pick up packet was a drag. We went straight to Sandy and the hotel so we could get some sleep.
