I truly enjoyed this race. For Louisville, the half was very flat, and it showcased most parts of Louisville that could be on a flat route. We ran past Louisville Slugger into Harlem through Churchill Downs came back through the University of Louisville then to the finish line by the water. Many cool murals on the route and good crowd support. I enjoyed that this race is part of their Kentucky Derby Festival, so we enjoyed the festival while we were visiting. The route split at one point but the full came back around the mile 11 mark on the half. I enjoyed being able to see the full front runners and encourage them… BUT I don’t know how much the full runners like it. I could see some half runners getting in their way.

The expo was great… I wish they had better merch items for the half. I opted to get a Louisville running company shirt instead and a sweatshirt from Churchill Downs. Race day was great and started on time. Weather was perfect. I have family close by so I am thinking I may repeat this state!

I will add- I enjoyed staying at the Cambria. It was perfect. The starting line was a street over and the finish line was a block over. I came with my family and my husband was easily able to navigate two small kids from the room. We walked everywhere and the derby festival is close by as well. Wild Eggs for breakfast was across the street. I put our name on the list then went up to take a shower before we left!

I still have yet to receive my email for the results. I was able to pull them off the website though. I wasn’t impressed with the pictures that were taken and very expensive from other halfs I have seen.

Where do I start? Wow, gorgeous. I hiked a few days prior to race day to experience the park. The expo was great. Love Vacation Race Swag! It was on native american land and I appreciated the way that Vacation Races honored that. Day of was great. We stayed near the shuttle at the Casino. This is the best place to stay in my opinion. The start line is nothing special, but they keep all of the great things at the finish line. I really enjoyed the finish party.

The course itself was not easy but so rewarding. The first mile was pretty flat, but then you climb for 5 miles… until you reach the top then you descend by switchbacks and uneven roads. The views are gorgeous as the sun is coming up.

Wow, wow, wow. This was the first and could have only been once race. We heard about it on a podcast and immediately signed up. North Conway is a gorgeous New England town and the locals were very welcoming. The expo was awesome and the merch was the best I have seen so far… Vacation Races a close second. You couldn’t have guessed this was the first time in this area for this race, it ran so well. The logistics were great… parking wasn’t bad. I loved everything about this race. The views were awesome. Mountains ahead, snow on the right, river on the left- very tough to beat! Completely down hill which is what Revel is known for and man did I feel it the following day! We stayed at the hotel connected to the outlets and race morning wasn’t bad. The race started on time. Free pictures! I am looking forward to my next Revel Race!

After a couple years cancellation, we finally were able to complete this race. The original route was not the same route on race day. We ended up with a few more bridges than intended and a greenway path that I did not appreciate. The beginning where we ran along Clearwater beach was great but once we ran the other bridge back into town, the cars didn’t like we were there. The expo was great other than sizing for shirts. I wish they would let you preorder at least the shirt with the names on it. I didn’t like the finish line being at the very top… it should have been in the same spot as the 5k the day prior. It doesn’t shock me this was discontinued. All RnR is going down hill it seems.

I would not have chosen this race for my NC state but a hurricane decided to disrupt my original half plans, and this was the same weekend. I couldn’t let my training go to waste!

This race is completely mental. This race route was an out and back x2. It was so frustrating. It was mainly on a greenway on a very small path. I really hope since then, the route has been updated. I wish I could have seen more of Hendersonville. Ample parking, awesome swag, no complaints other than the route itself.

This was my very first half marathon. This course is extremely flat and easy to get a PR. Parking is ample and easy for both the expo and day of. You are able to run down Ocean Blvd. At the end, they provide free pizza and beer if interested.
