REVEL Big Cottonwood Marathon

The event begins at an elevation of over 9,600 feet on Guardsman Pass, immediately introducing runners to high mountain air and the unique challenges of altitude. The initial three miles follow a steep, winding descent through several tight switchbacks, demanding both caution and control to avoid burning out quads early and to navigate the sometimes tricky turns. This accelerated drop sets an aggressive tone and can invite runners to start faster than intended due to the aid of gravity.\n\nAt mi
