REVEL White Mountains Race InformationQuick Info
Runner PerksIn addition to offering a fully-supported run down the famous Kancamagus Highway and through the beautiful White Mountains National Forest, we strive to make this event even more memorable with some 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 from our 10th Anniversary REVEL Big Cottonwood event. 
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. The images below are pictures of recent REVEL race medals. 
  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 tri-blend t-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 White Mountains swag and sponsor swag will be available for pick-up at the expo. Race swag will include items such as gloves & blanket for the start line. 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, and give a hand to the rest of the runners coming in. 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 White Mountains Expo will be held on Saturday, May 4, 2024 from 10:00AM - 5:00PM at Ham Arena. 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 for an additional fee. This option may be selected during registration. There is an option to have your entire race packet mailed to you. You may select this option during registration. Parking & BusingParticipant parking is not available at the finish venue. All designated parking is a short shuttle ride from the finish line. REVEL White Mountains is a point to point route and as such, we will bus you from the designated parking area to the start line. Marathon and half marathon participants will board buses in two separate locations within in the parking area. All participants must take the bus and your bib is the ticket to board the bus. There is no parking at the start lines, and participants may not be dropped off at the start venues.
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. Estimated travel time is 60 minutes to the full marathon start and 30 minutes to the half marathon start. Please plan your bathroom needs accordingly. Some porta potties will be available at the busing area as well as the start lines.
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 at Russell-Colbath House Parking Area. The full marathon begins at CL Graham Wangan Overlook. Porta-potties, water, Electrolyte, 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 at Ham Arena, located at 6142 87 W Main St, Conway, NH 03818. The finisher's area will be packed with food, massage, 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 cannot 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 electrolyte drink, water, porta-potties, and basic first aid supplies. Additionally, various aid stations will be supplied with muscle gel,energy gels, frozen treats, fruit, and medical personnel. Safety & MedicalCourse SafetyThe road will be partially closed to traffic during the race. During this time, the westbound lane of Kancamagus Highway will be reserved for runners. The eastbound lane will be utilized for mobilizing two-way vehicle traffic via passing zones navigated by police escorts. Candlestick barricades will be placed along the center of the road, and for your safety you must stay to the left of these cones at all times while on the highway. 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 AssistanceEach 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 and equipped with advanced medical supplies. The medical provider and their trained EMTs will be ready to service runners at the medical aid stations. 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. 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 full marathon is based on a 15:00 minute per mile pace, which is a light jog. This equates to a 6:33 marathon. The time limit for the half marathon is based on a 30:00 minute per mile pace, which is a leisurely walking pace. This equates to a 6:33 half marathon. Both races start at 6:00am, and participants will need to finish by 12:33pm. 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 cross the finish line and 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 full marathon will include pacers at various Boston-qualifying paces, including:

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 Conway, NH, and that temperatures may be considerably cooler in the morning at the start. 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 InformationDue to the restricted and controlled vehicle traffic pattern being implemented on Kancamagus Highway throughout the race, spectators will not be allowed to spectate along the highway. Spectators are encouraged to show their support as runners cross the finish line at Ham Arena. The finish festival will feature plenty of activities while waiting for runners to reach the finish line.
