The Antelope Island Marathon offers runners four paved-road options on the largest island in the Great Salt Lake: a full marathon, half marathon, 10K, and 5K. All four distances begin and end at Antelope Island Marina, utilizing island parking and keeping runners near the water. The event also includes a virtual race and invite-only pacer entries for the marathon and half marathon. The course follows Antelope Island roads and the causeway over the Great Salt Lake, with lake views to the east and the island’s mountains to the west. The marathon course features several rolling sections, not just a downhill run. The island's wildlife is a primary attraction, with approximately 600 bison, mule deer, bighorn sheep, and over 400 bird species inhabiting the area. Previously known as the Layton Marathon, all in-person distances are now held exclusively on Antelope Island.

The Howloween Half Marathon & 5k is a Halloween-themed running event in Farmington, Utah, featuring a half marathon and a 5k that both begin at Farmington City Regional Park. The half marathon commences before the 5k, and both races utilize chip timing integrated into the race bib. The park is located approximately one mile southwest of Lagoon Amusement Park, allowing the event to complement a Halloween-season visit to Farmington, with Frightmares and Station Park nearby. Runners begin and conclude at the park, proceeding along the Legacy Trail on a flat course with the organizers as safe. Aid stations are positioned at the 5k turnaround and roughly every three miles, offering water, Gatorade Endurance Mix, and gels. The event embraces the holiday theme: participants receive sponsor items, a medal, race merchandise like a shirt or fleece blanket, a post-race pancake breakfast, and are eligible for a costume contest with a cash prize for the top costume. Awards are presented to the top overall half marathon finishers and by age group, while the 5k recognizes overall champions.

The Race for Campus Safety in Salt Lake City is a community run and walk supporting the Lauren McCluskey Foundation and the University of Utah. It provides 1K, 5K, 10K, and virtual race options, allowing families, students, campus staff, advocates, and casual runners to select a suitable distance. The event funds efforts to enhance college responses to relationship violence, stalking, and interpersonal violence, with all proceeds directed to research, advocacy, and safety programming. The event is held each fall near the anniversary of Lauren McCluskey’s death, inspired by her life. The day’s activities extend beyond the races: participants may form teams, interact with sports mascots, visit resource and education booths, listen to live entertainment, and enjoy cheer squads, inflatable obstacle courses, and yard games. Over 800 people participated in a recent race and festival, creating a campus-wide gathering atmosphere with a distinct objective.

Cincinnati’s Thanksgiving Day Races begin the holiday at TQL Stadium. Runners select either the Western & Southern 10K or the Chick-fil-A 5K before the holiday meal. Both main races commence at 9am. The 5K run/walk offers families and less experienced runners a shorter option within the established W&S Thanksgiving Day Race, which introduced the 5K after 114 years. The morning also features the ProAmpac Kids Fun Run, a 1/4-mile race starting at 8:30 AM from the same starting line as the main races. Children finish shortly after and receive medals, providing the youngest participants their own race-day recognition. Packet pickup occurs at TQL Stadium on the Tuesday and Wednesday preceding Thanksgiving, with complimentary East Garage parking. The finish line activities transition onto the TQL Stadium field for a post-race gathering with family and friends.

The Ogden Santa Run is a 5K in Historic Downtown Ogden and the original race in the Utah Santa Runs series. It is the largest event in the series, run just before the Ogden Holiday Light Parade, tying the race to the city’s holiday night rather than a standalone morning run. The route goes down Washington Boulevard, with runners in the Santa suits they receive as part of entry. Milk-and-cookie aid stations replace the usual sports-drink setup, volunteers dress as elves, and music plays along the course from start to finish.
