Training Tip: Don't Skip Speed Work

REVEL is all about fast downhill courses. Whether it’s the marathon or half marathon PR that you’re chasing, our courses require some degree of downhill training to prepare. As you train, don’t overlook the value of speed work. You will want to prepare your legs to “turn over” faster than you are normally accustomed to. Look for more tips on speed work to prepare for downhill racing in our upcoming newsletters.

Qualify for Races With Your Half Marathon Time

Did you know that you can qualify for certain marathons and half marathons with your half marathon finishing time? A number of races offer guaranteed entry to runners who have completed a half marathon within a set time standard. REVEL's gorgeous and incredibly fast downhill half marathons are perfect for your half marathon PR or for punching your ticket into a time-qualifier race!
