Kulia, Rockies, & Mt Hood Price Increases

Rockies

REVEL Kulia, Rockies, & Mt Hood are all ringing in the new year with a price increase. The best way to make sure you stick with those New Year's resolutions is to sign up for a race! Kulia is our new Hawaii event and has the most elevation drop of any REVEL course. Rockies is in Denver and has a strong downhill finish along with the most diverse scenery of any REVEL course. Mt Hood is in Portland and has the perfect weather for running in the summer, not to mention one of the highest BQ rates of any race in the country. All these have a $10 price increase on Jan 1 so make sure to sign up  now! 

Seeking Volunteer YOUTH Coaches

Launch Team

The Launch Team is seeking volunteer coaches and youth participants in Salt Lake and Las Vegas to train for the REVEL Mt Charleston Half Marathon. Groups meet twice a week starting in February for training. Launch Team's mission is to get youth of all abilities off the couch and out running. Parents can also sign up and join their youth in training and at the race. Parents do not need to run the same pace as their youth. Altra, Hoka, Sketchers, and New Balance have donated shoes and Aftershokz has donated Bluetooth headphones that will be given to the first youth to signup (while sizes remain).

Things To Do - Chilliwack

Seven Sisters

Seven Sisters Trail is a relatively short, easy hike that can be fun for the family. It's 3km (2 miles) in distance and has an elevation gain of just 70 feet (23m). It’s a beautiful hike in the Cultus Lake area, leading to a grove of old douglas fir trees. Chilliwack is the PERFECT place to plan your summer vacation with the family in 2019.

Running with proper technique makes runners more efficient meaning you can run longer, faster and safer. TOSH Orthopedics has four tips to help with your technique. More tips to follow in upcoming newsletters. 1. Stride angle, the angle formed by your thighs at toe off. This angle should be as wide and large as possible. Improved stride angle is accomplished through two key modifications; rear leg extension and a higher knee drive in the front leg. Both motions require strength and range of motion in the hips.

Richelin

Richelin signed up for the REVEL Big Bear Half Marathon as a countdown for
the end of her husband's deployment. Twenty minutes before the race began,
she got a text that he boarded his flight out of Afghanistan. The race was
symbolic of the past eight months, the struggle, the growth, and the triumph
of finishing. We thank Richelin's husband for his service and congraulate her
on crossing the finish line!
