  • Comments: Do your hill training! This is 75% or more downhill but also 25% uphill and not all of that is at a gentle grade. When looking at the race day forecast, check the weather for Central, UT or use an app like Epic Ride Weather to predict your start/end weather conditions. Look at the route in Ride with GPS or similar. The map the race site provides does not show the 6% grade of the Veyo hill. With the info in a GPS mapping app, you can more easily plan for your race. This is a great event if you like magnificent splendor but a poor choice if you want crowds along the entire course. The expo is good for a mid size event. This was the 43rd edition of the event and they have the organization down. They said they are the 16th largest marathon in the country.

  • Comments: I got my finisher medal and headed to the athletic area for some ice-cold coke. Got two cokes, went to grass area to sit, but more like fell down. It was funnier to watch me get up. Sipped my drink and let the after shock happen. That included the cramping of both my calves. I was so happy that I sat down before this happen. I just sat there and drank and tried to get the cramping to stop. I met up with a couple of friends and chatted about the race. Some were happy and some not so much with their performance. I can’t blame them as it was a hot day and a lot of people were cramping at the end. I got my fills of all my excitement and got ready to go home. I took a finisher photo. It actually turn out good and it a being a PR moment. I’m thinking I might buy it). I g ot my stuff and went home. By the time I got to the car, I had the Frankenstein walk mastered. This was number 7 STG marathon for me and the most memorable experience. The 6 race before this, I didn’t want anything

  • Comments: This is a fabulous vacation race. The scenery is out of this world. The course is a lot tougher then you may think with a net down hill. The water stops were a little disorganized, but the volunteers were great. The medal is one of the nicest ones I have ever gotten.
