Lots to say about this event. The good and the bad. This is a beautiful race, I have done parts of this course 6 times. 1/2’s-Trailfest-50K etc. You can’t go wrong with this good course. Aid stations are great, good work was done on these. We started cold, 45 degrees, it got hot, I pulled off at 80 degrees. I wanted to do the 60K, ran into problems so dropped to the 30K, You will like this race. Remember, turn off to the site is Main and HWY 59. Don’t blink or you will fly by. Couple things about VR, they give google directions but not addresses, ( take a map), also this race, several runners got off course on loop two, flags missing and dots turned to blue then split into two course, neither dots were correct. One lady, a very good runners took off on one blue course, it was the wrong way, who knows what happened to her. I was off by about 1.5 miles and had to back track. Their trail markings need really a lot of improvement!! I appears that since the change of management or sale of the company, they seam to be focus a great deal on making money. So don’t over expect. Lots of changes going on.

Some Races you win and some Races you lose. I have ran this one several times, always good weather and always a tough race. This, back got hurt and some other issues. But the folks are always the best. This group has a much higher caliber of runners. Lots of hills, ups and downs. 4,000 ft. elevation gain, lots of sand and dirt. Aid stations are well done. Swag is always the best. If you can, do the triple crown, also interesting. Family ran company, you will like it. Fill free to ask questions.

This is a non-event race. Very good for local runners, however the area people have already complained about different things, one being parking. No more than 500 total all races. Two long hills, this is not a trail race, most is on pavement so not good for trail shoes. Tunnels are cool but I thought there were 4, but nice event. I ran this 4 years ago+-, it was fun. very average now. Good for a local run and local folks.

Crazy hard race. Lot of hills, 17,800 ft. elevation gain throughout the race. This one has been executed perfectly for my two years of running it. After race food is great, all aid stations well supplied. Take lots of water, folks were running out of water. Many water crossing, some mud, last year we had snow. This is a very hard and long race. So many hills. I am amazed I finished this.

Be aware there is little room for a miss-step. Clearly in this race, this race only, they are clearly more interested in the top 30, than the rest of the folks. So, run this race for fun but make sure your under the 4 hour mark. Such a great race series and this one race out of the series seams to fumble the ball. I believe the problem here is not with the organizers but with the city of Manitou Springs. They profiteer to the max , parking fees etc. This year they let cars into the parking as runners were still finishing. Totally uncalled for.

You can’t go wrong with this one.

You run on the paved old wagon road, the big trees are 45-70 ft. in circumference. 200 to 250 ft tall. Race is well done, results are right away. Directions are a little lacking so do your home work.

If you run this, if you park in a garage, park close to the exit, read all the race guide, take a space blanket just in case, mornings are cool.This race can turn hot later in the race. The swag is great and lots of thought has been put into this race. You will enjoy this for sure. There all hills, several so plan for it.

One issue, their web site needs some work also the communication via emails is weak. If you get same day bib pick up, they charge $50.00 plus processing fee, $10.00 plus tax. $60.00 plus to pick up. The web site also does not say where to go. But the runners are great and the bands are great too.

This race on an organization level has improved over last year. Busses and staff were perfect. The course is rather boring for me. Maybe for out of town folks it would be better. Finish area was perfect, well done, staff had it together for sure. The Medal was very plan Jane. We have so much here, Big horn sheep, mountain lions, Owls, hawks, bobcats and 16 mountain ranges that surround us. It looks to me that with a little effort a super cool medal could be made.

The Revelers is a very fine group, really. However, this race and I have done 9 of their races ranked way down the list. The buss pick up was a mess. The location for pick up, no signs, no people, nothing was there. The delegated people showed up very late. A parking attendant not associated with the race helped out. Runners were so mixed up. So the race started late. Also no bathrooms on the lot, also a big problem. A total mess. The course is a nice course, not the fastest Revelers but good. Not a lot of locals out. Aid stations are just water and electrolytes so bring your own snacks. Weather war great and finish was great and very well organized.

Beware of the trail markers. Here again the boos is not checking up on the worker bees. Many people got turned around, off course for 2-4 miles, wrong direction etc. These folks have issues with proper markings and directional s. I thought I was on course, another lady coming from opposite directions said she was back tracking.. Turned out she was right, we both go messed up for miles. Also have many other say the same thing. Aid stations are great, this particular race the swag was very nicely done. The mountain is challenging, most is flat.

This is a lap race, originally signed up for the 31K, timer was not nice. I requested to drop down because for me, lap races are very boring. He ( timer guy ),said he would not do it but I could drop out if I wanted. Not a nice guy. Band speakers were directed to the spectators and not the course??? Mostly flat course, one hill, the trail was nice. They practice no cups which is so totally worthless. No cup races are no cup to help the directors do less work and make more money, which is a lot of Aravaipa races. Food was good, aid stations good. But friendliness of the race folks and runners is like a 2 on a 1-10 scale.

Just not to friendly of Organizers. We did get a nice whiskey glass. Much better than the last 3 we received. They are most focused on making money first.

This was my 7th race with Revel, some changes I do not like, course was good, it was put together well, Medal was great, however, finish line was sad, food, drink-sad, they dropped the box lunch, they dropped the mud/insulated drinking cup, the retail was sad as I never carry credit cards in a race, worker enthusiasm was not there. So, in my view, on a scale of 1-10, old rating a 12, they have dropped to a 5 or less. Rather sad. Just focused on the money.

This year, lots of rain, mud, rocks, wind, cold but still I love it. The rain and mud slowed things down though.

There are some great views in this race, recent storms put lots of water in the creeks, several creek crossing. Nice running area. Good aid stations, mostly OK marked trails but needed more markers out, at one fork in the trail, no markings, that caused a delay. Award pick up is still up in the air, or lacking information. This organization gives out very cheap glasses or wine glasses, so cheap they break easily. If they are going to do that, spend some money and get good ones we can use. I have spoke up on this but no one wants to hear that.

That part is sad that a few cry and the rest have to agree??? Swag was good, t-shirts are good, the medal was smaller but very nice. A bunch of us used the GPS on the site, took us to the wrong place, about 20 cars ended up wrong. 2nd Try we went right to the Church address, it was closed and Locked gate. So we ask around, the correct entry was a short distance 1 +- mile away. The actual address of the park or guard shack should be used. Overall, it all turned out well.

Can’t beat this run. The organizer is a Family ran group. Moab UT, they do many races around Colorado an Utah and AZ. ( Mad Moose ) is their name. This race is a hard one, Winter snow, snow melt, mud and about 600 runners this time. Well done race and results were posted is less than 18 hours. Super nice group and runners. You will not be disappointed. I have ran 10 races with this group. 🙂

Very well organized race. Our lead person was Hanna with BBSC’s endurance events. She was very sharp and very well organized. Totally focused. First part is slow, some hills, the end is great, went through 4-6 old train tunnels. We run on the old train path. Great views from up there. The town of Boulder city is the cleanest town I have seen in years.

If you are a regular runner, you need to know, this organizer is OK at best. The swag gets worst. They seem to change from medals ( wooden ) to very cheap wine glass type the might have cost them 19 cents. I ask the organizer about this and he told me he did a “survey of his runners “, I never received a survey and I have done several of his runs. Runners are here for fun, the race, the location and the medal. 100 plus dollars, sometimes 200, or more and you can not put out a good swag????? Thats called profiteering. Also this race and two other of his races have issues with trail signage. The photo posted was sun rise on race morning.

I did well till I hit 11,000 ft. , later found out I had come down with an infection, but no fault of anyone. However the race is fantastic as always, I know the course well, you will love it. Training is a must, and high altitude is 100% necessary. 95% trail, single track. Be ready. weather is all over the place so again, be ready. Miss the cut off time, miss the medal so get in shape.

Very difficult course, 4,000 ft. elevation gain, straight up the mountain. Turn around is at 13450 ft. Most of the runners are repeat and very good. Lots of women runners, more than I have ever seen in a race by percentage. Snow at the top, turns hot on the way down.

There were several races ran on the same day, The web site had corrections so I am sure some folks did not get the change. Ref. time start. Most everything else has improve. However, their award was a very cheap wine glass that every runner I know hates. Totally worthless and breakable. My big issue with this organization is that they do not play the National Anthem. Not 100% sure but I have not heard it at several runs. They also are now running the Tucson Marathon. The National Anthem had better be played. Very sad these folks forget just what country they live in.

I believe this one was a cold one. Start was 16 degrees. Good course, good run, no trail issues, very well organized, good aid stations. Fun people and good support from everyone. This group, ( Mad Moose-Utah ), I have ran many of their runs, Utah, and Colorado. I think they are fantastic. Sometimes cutoffs are hard but most often they are doable.

I have ran this race many times. I first ran this race in 1998 and did very well, over the years I have bettered the times and also ran slower. The trail, the start, the finish, the quality of the staff and their focus is really fantastic. Now that I am a lot older this proves to be an extreme challenge. Every aspect of this race is covered. The other runners come from around the Nation and the world. A challenge for everyone for sure. For sure the runners are really nice to exchange ideas and information.

Starts cool, nice views and will flatten out. You run the highway most of the race. Poorly put together and never has been a well done race. This year 2022 will be interesting. New owner from the Phoenix area, they historically give bad service and don’t return emails or calls. I have ran several of their run in the Phoenix area. They are an average organization. This is their first Tucson Marathon, it will be interesting how it goes. I am still waiting for both a call and an email to be returned from these new folks.

Just loved the race, on the horse shoe race, I would follow the river for 2-3 more miles and then turn to the finish. Loved the scenery, it was great, improve that if you can. Love trail running, so much more fun than street. Just returned from Chicago Marathon. This race beats that one 5 to 1. It was good but not grand. VR’s are just fine. Mostly, good folks. Who ever reads this, this “Trail Fest” is a must do. P.S. the medal is the 2nd best one I have received in 44 years and 150 races. The photo I posted is just the tip of the iceberg. That is Horse shoe bend from the top of the cliff, I diverted off the trail so to get the photo, no worries, your not running the edge. Safe as can be.

Fun race, some call this the tunnel race, ran on an old rail road track. Beautiful run, lots of green. Don’t say in the hotel at the pass. stay down at the bottom. This is a fast course, lots of room on the road.
