Race day went well. It was an early start to catch the bus ride up the hill. It was smooth and had no issues. Spent the day with great friends and we all finished at decent times.

Yes, I did PR. My old PR was 1:55. I finished this race in 1:48. So about 7 minutes.

Most would argue that they prefer running down hill, but I did not like the duration of the downhill course. It’s very harsh on the body and for older individuals that pounding isn’t really ideal. I don’t think this course should have Been a qualifier due to the fact that it was all downhill. Someone can qualify here, and not do as well somewhere else because there are actual inclines in most courses. It kind of makes this race look bad by having all these qualifiers, but then they don’t do well when they perform at that qualifying race. It was beautiful outside.

I run about 4x a week. I run anywhere from 3-8 miles. I ran a 10 miler about a week ago. I don’t specifically train for races like I should. I just run.

Keep up the training, it will pay off and you will feel a lot better post race.

Went shopping at the Nike Outlet. I traveled from Jacksonville, NC

Traveled from Houston Texas to run with my mother & grandmother!!

THe views were amazing.

Yes. Prior PR was 4:59:59 LA Marathon 2016. I didn’t train downhill, I was afraid to let go fully but finished at 4:57:3...
I ended the marathon feeling fresh, no injuries. I know I could have done better if I hadn’t held back. I am still super happy with everything that happened over all.

It was good. The drive to Big Bera was long. Maybe a bus with bathrooms would be nice. I know it's expensive, but that would be amazing since it's a long ride. More gels on the course please. Other than that, i really liked it

Yes. I PRed by 17 minutes and I qualified for Boston, NY, Tokyo, and Chicago with my new PR

nice scenery and the downhill after mile 10

did a lot of hill training till the end when i realized it was downhill and didn't do much downhill training. speed workouts i think helped with the feet turnover when i was going downhill

Get one of the pace bracelets. Knowing which miles would be tougher/slower than others helped me strategize my race. Bring gels/gu because there aren't a lot available.

eat and rest

You guys are amazing!!! My biggest complaint during races is not enough porta-potties along the route but that is never a problem with your races. This is my third different Revel and ALWAYS PERFECT!

I did not but that's because I have prior Revel races and I am battling plantar fasciitis. Not your fault... unless you did some fascia voodoo on me.

The views were gorgeous and the fog you ordered up made for beautiful pictures. The route/grade/elevation was agreeable. The flat and climbs were acceptable for a downhill course. I will be back next year.

I'm a bit of a heavyweight so I run to manage my weight and not to break any land speed records. As for the training for this race, I have been limited to running just once a week for the last 4 months do to my plantar fasciitis. Ideally I would 3 or 4 days a week totally 20 to 30 miles. Just couldn't this time.

If running Revel, TAKE THE BLANKET TO THE STARTING LOCATION. I saw too many people that didn't take it up and they were cold. I'd dress like I would for any normal race since you will warm up with the faster pace you'll be running.

I didn't do much this time. I did stay locally but live in the OC so I could have come straight from home. Thanks again for everything you do.

Event was overall great from expo to finish. Just wish I knew how to do more downhill training. I'm still feeling it.

I didn't but didn't try to

Challenging to say the least.... Never did a all downhill course. But very nice views.

I would incorporate more weight lifting, my quads were very sore from the downhill. Good thing I kept a stay pace and didn't over do it.

Get hotel early and arrive early for bus pickup and layer up for race start area

Hangar 24 was fun

Well organized event. Perfect day for running.

No, It’ about 5 minutes off for PR and about 10 minutes off from new BQ standards. I suffered from diarrhea on the first half, and leg/toe cramps at last half, but still enjoyed the day.

Beautiful and fast course.

Had committed training to prepare this event, combined down hill trainings, and some cross trainings. Properly should consider some training run on a zigzagged road.

May taking enough salty juice to prevent cramps. And careful selection of dining prior to the event. It appears that Redlands city have many choices for lodge, and dining. Clothes preparation should still wear light short or tank clothes and check-in earlier morning sweaters to event shuttle bus before run starts.

pretty campus of University of Redlands, fall season color in big bear lakes. I’m traveling from San Diego, CA, the event site is at a nearby location, an easy 1.5 hours drive.

It was great! Transportation to the start line was smooth. I would like to remind you to start the race with the traditional of signing the National anthem. Please do not neglect this very important aspect. Well the route was scenic and easy to handle. The safety of runners was adequate and can be improved. The finish line was good with booths behind. Oh, dear I can't say more about transportation back to our cars. Weldone REVEL!! I will be there in 2019, I promise.. I love your race and this was my 1st.

Yes, I did. The down slope race helped to get my PR of 2:50. Very proud of that.

Nice and easy. Very scenic. Elevation was good

I train in the city of Loma Linda with the Loma Linda Lopers.
I would like to see the First Aide (Medic) station not right there with the water station and porter potties it was just too crowded. Spread the First Aide a little away from all that PLEASE.

To those who are not training in a club/team of marathon racing Please do not take the down slope race for granted. Train, train and avoid injuries. Very important! Check your weather and dress appropriately.

I live locally and train locally, so after race went home.
