    5/5 Stars

  2. Describe your race day.

    Such a well managed race and it seems to have been set up by runners, who know what’s important when you cross the finish line. A cool towel, massage and other amenities. Friendly staff!!

  3. Did you PR?

    Yes! By almost 7 minutes! No BQ, but that wasn’t my goal.

  4. How would you describe the course?

    Loved it, but that last mile was tough. My goal next year, is to run that last mile without stopping! The scenery was breathtaking and we even hiked the day before to 7 Falls.

  5. Tell us about your training.

    I’m a pace leader with the Riverside Road Runners. Long runs are Sunday mornings and shorter runs during the week if possible. I also train in martial arts 5 days a week (Jiu Jitsu and Tae Kwon Do)

  6. What advice would you give future runners?

    Join a running club to help with a training schedule, to ensure they remain injury free while working up to long miles.

  7. What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

    Had fun trying new restaurants and went hiking, with a massage later that same day.

    Drove from Riverside, CA. We have a goal to run a half marathon in each state. We already signed up for your Nevada race and look forward to WA, HI and OR. Please set up more Revel races
