 Posted: 08/21/05 - 21:35 Post subject: Provo Utah Half-Marathon PR
I completed the Provo Half this past Saturday. This is my second trip to do this race. I live in Florida, and love the refreshing change of scenery and weather during the summer months.
I set a PR in 1.27:40 and finished 52nd out of 1525 runners, 8th in 35-39 age group.
This is a great race and recommended. See trailrun.com for details.

Nice job!
Don't think I'll be making it out to Utah anytime in the near future, though.

The race is run mostly on a paved, asphalt trail, that winds and rolls through the Provo River Canyon. Beautiful scenery!!!
The first three miles are very steep in decent, then the remainder has a rolling decent with one long climb for about 1.5 miles, and then several small, rythmn breaking hills. The last 2 miles are the flatest miles of the course, leading to finish line in a large park.
Large food spread! The race is capped at 1500, and fills every year.
