If I could give this race a 100 stars I would! I ran the half in November of 2019 and it was everything I had hoped for and so much more! I was coming off an injury and had not trained much but it looked so good I had to go for it! First of all, the SWAG was amazing! From the shirt to sunglasses to nutrition treats, etc. You are bused to the top of the mountain very early in the morning while it is still dark. When the race begins, the sun is just starting to come out and the view is spectacular. You run the first 5 miles straight down hill so your pace is really good. It levels out a bit but continues all the way down the mountain. Trust me, you will want your phone out to take pics. The race continues through the town and the finish line is so much fun. You get a card with your time printed within minutes. They also provide you FREE pictures and a video within a week or so. REVEL knows how to do races right!
