Hi Trippers!

Salt Lake City Shuffle

The first race in the REVEL 2014 series is in the books. A hearty (and large) band of REVELers took to the Rocky Mountains outside of Denver on Sunday morning. PR’s were achieved, swag was earned and fun was had by all.

Next up in the series is the Big Cottonwood Marathon/Half Marathon outside of Salt Lake City, Utah on September 13th.

The Big Cottonwood marathon course drops over 4,000 feet and the half marathon course drops just shy of 3,000 feet.

It’s a beautiful, scenic downhill course that just screams PR… and it is a USATF certified course and “Boston qualifier.”

In addition, REVEL Big Cottonwood runners get the following:

• Cool gender-specific tech T-shirts
• Awesome finisher’s medal
• Great additional race swag
• Free race photos and personalized video
• Finish line festivities

I’ll be there hoping to PR on the half marathon course and I’d like you to join me and my fellow REVELers… for FREE.

That’s right, it’s time for another giveaway and the prize is a FREE entry to the REVEL Big Cottonwood race.
