The Southern Utah Halloween Half Marathon, 5k, and Relay is a Saturday road race in Hurricane, Utah, offering a half marathon, a 5k, and a relay. The Halloween theme provides a casual, family-friendly atmosphere, distinct from a purely competitive race environment. The course travels through the farmlands surrounding Hurricane, concluding at Fisher Family Farm. This event is designed for all ages, accommodating families, novice runners, relay teams, and individuals seeking a brief autumn race in southern Utah.

The Snow Canyon Half Marathon 10k 5k Fun Run Walk n' Roll is a November race in St. George, Utah, featuring a downhill half marathon near Southern Utah's red rock formations. Participants can choose from 21.1 km, 10 km, and 5 km races, along with a Fun Run Walk n' Roll for individuals aged 2-18 and participants with disabilities. The mild November weather in St. George, with typical daytime highs in the upper 60s, contributes to the event's draw, attracting many runners from outside Washington County. The half marathon begins on State Route 18, proceeds south for approximately four miles, then enters Snow Canyon State Park before winding through western St. George neighborhoods. The course concludes at Snow Canyon High School, transitioning from open desert roads and red rock scenery into the city, rather than remaining on a single closed loop. The shorter races commence at the same point as the half marathon, with the Fun Run Walk n' Roll later providing 1-mile and 200-meter options. St. George Races, a division of the City of St. George Parks and Community Services Department, is the organizer.

The race embraces the holiday theme with the slogan “Hobble Now, Gobble Later!” and provides a 3-inch pie to every participant post-race. Finishers also receive a medal, a T-shirt, and a sweatband. The park setup features treats, prizes, awards presented shortly after the races, and a bounce house for children.

The Hungry Hustle 5K Ugly Sweater Fun Run takes place in December in Washington, Utah. The run starts at 10:30am from Sullivan Virgin River Soccer Park. It begins and ends at the fishing pond pavilion on the south end of the parking lot. The atmosphere is more like a community fun run than a competitive road race. The course is 5 kilometers long, with each kilometer marked by Christmas-themed stops or decorations like tinsel, Christmas trees, snowballs, and candy canes. Participants are encouraged to wear their ugliest sweaters. The route includes a Santa selfie stop, making it suitable for walkers, families, and casual runners as well as those focused on their finish time.

Baker's Dozen is a sugar-themed race day at Three Falls Park in Hurricane, Utah, featuring a half marathon, a relay, and a 5K. The half marathon follows a 3.25-mile loop that participants run four times, bringing everyone back through the start-finish area rather than using a point-to-point course. The relay divides the distance into one approximately 5K loop per runner, and the 5K option is just over 5K, according to the organizers. The race's unique feature is the Sugar Shack, an aid station at the end of each loop offering donuts, cupcakes, cookies, Twinkies, pastries, and other sweets. Half marathoners must consume a treat each time they pass the Sugar Shack to qualify for their medal, with volunteers verifying consumption; relay runners require one treat for their medal. The loop format fosters a social atmosphere, as runners frequently encounter one another. The swag selection is informal and fun: half marathon and relay runners choose two items from a bin of mugs, towels, shirts, hats, and similar merchandise, while 5K runners select one item.

The Sun Marathon is a winter road race in Southern Utah, based in the St. George and Santa Clara area. It offers runners four in-person distances: marathon, half marathon, 10K, and 5K, with a virtual option available. The race centers on a straightforward concept: exchanging cold-weather training miles for a desert run among red rock mountains. The courses are largely downhill, but they feature rollers and some climbs rather than continuous drops. Marathoners pass Gunlock Reservoir, and both the full and half marathon routes follow a river for a portion. The full marathon begins in Santa Clara and includes an early start option for participants anticipating a finish time exceeding seven hours.
