Recurring Half Marathon races near Salt Lake City
Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly
Antelope Island Marathon - 26.2 - 13.1 - 10K - 5K
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.
Dimple Dell Half Marathon
The Dimple Dell Half Marathon is a fall trail race in Sandy City, Utah, offering 5K, 10K, and half-marathon distances. The race begins at Lone Peak Park, and the environment soon shifts from urban to natural, featuring wood-chipped paths, single-track trails, autumn foliage, and mountain vistas.
The course winds through Dimple Dell’s canyon landscape, incorporating several ascents instead of a flat road-race design. It employs a mass start, and previous fields have been modest, typically around 126 participants, contributing to a local rather than crowded atmosphere. Entry fees cover locally crafted finisher and age-group medals, a race shirt, breakfast from Great Harvest Bread, complimentary race photography, well-supplied aid stations, and live musical performances.
Haunted 5K, 10K, 13.1M & 26.2M at Highland, UT (42)
The Haunted race in Highland, Utah, starts from 4800 Knight Ave and offers four distance choices: 5K, 10K, half marathon, and marathon. The race begins at 8:30 AM. Packet pickup opens 30 minutes before the start and closes 10 minutes before runners depart.
The 5K and 10K follow an out-and-back course; 5K runners complete it once, while 10K runners go out and back. The half marathon and marathon have a separate course. Parking is available near the start. All participants must register in advance on RunSignup, as no race-day registration is available.
Howloween Half Marathon & 5k
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.
Women's Epic Road Half Marathon & 10k
The Women's Epic Road Half Marathon & 10k starts and finishes at Weber State University's Football Stadium in Ogden, Utah. This road event, held in October, offers two distances for women: a half marathon and a 10k. Registration provides a race bib, event shirt, finisher necklace, swag bag, a training guide, and access to pre- and post-race activities.
The course features rolling hills and quick descents, with sections on the Ogden River Parkway and vistas of the Wasatch Mountains. The finish is a notable feature: runners' final steps are broadcast live on the stadium Jumbotron as crowds watch from the stands. The post-race festival is held within the stadium, and participants have the option to purchase an additional medal.
Traverse Mountain Half Marathon
The Traverse Mountain Half Marathon is a small pavement half marathon in Highland, Utah, located about twenty minutes south of Salt Lake City. It begins and ends at Mitchell Hollow Park, starting at 8:00 a.m. Happy Trails Running hosts this boutique race, limited to under 300 participants. The event takes place in late fall on gentle, rolling terrain, covering 13.1 miles with approximately 506 feet of total elevation gain.
The out-and-back course follows the Murdock Canal Trail and Utah Rail Trail, with a turnaround at Shadow Ridge Park. It remains on paved paths, free of road crossings or shared vehicle right-of-way. Participants will see open views of Mount Timpanogos, Lone Peak, Box Elder, and the Wasatch Front, along with a pedestrian bridge connecting the trail system to the city. Aid stations are positioned every 2 to 3 miles, offering water, Tailwind, fruit, Honey Stinger snacks, and candy. There is no cutoff time, welcoming both walkers and slower runners. The event's small-race amenities include locally crafted finisher and age-group medals, performance-oriented shirts, breakfast from Great Harvest, complimentary unwatermarked race photos, and live results.
Gobbler 5K, 10K & 13.1M at Highland, UT (47)
The Gobbler 5K, 10K & 13.1M is a road race held in Highland, Utah, offering three distances that begin simultaneously at 8:30 AM. Participants must register in advance via RunSignup; race-day entry is not available. Packet pickup occurs in a brief window 30 minutes before the start, concluding 10 minutes prior to the gun.
The 5K and 10K races share an out-and-back course, with 5K participants completing it once and 10K runners completing it twice. The half marathon follows a similar out-and-back format. Parking is located near the start, providing a straightforward option for those seeking a local race morning without the need for an elaborate expo or shuttle arrangements.
Utah Santa Run - Gardner Village
The Gardner Village Santa Run is a Santa-themed running event in West Jordan, Utah. Runners line up in Santa suits instead of standard race gear. Registration includes the suit. The event offers longer race options with a half marathon and 10K, alongside the 5K that was part of the race before.
The race leans into the holiday setup: participants run dressed as Santa, volunteers dress as elves, and aid stations serve milk and cookies along with water and Powerade. It is built more around the shared costume-and-festive-aid-station experience than around a technical course story or elite racing angle.
Revolution Run - New Years Day Morning
The Revolution Run is a January 1 running event held in Kearns, Utah, starting at 5662 S Cougar Ln. Participants can select from four race distances: 5K, 10K, half marathon, and marathon. This allows for a New Year’s morning activity ranging from a short holiday run to a full 42.2 km effort.
The available distances are 5.0 km, 10.0 km, 21.1 km, and 42.2 km. The event's unique characteristic is its timing, specifically designed for New Year’s Day morning. It caters to individuals seeking a structured run to begin the year, rather than a spontaneous jog.
Lucky 13 Half Marathon - 10K - 5K
The Lucky 13 Half Marathon - 10K - 5K is a St. Patrick's Day race series held at Gardner Village. Participants can select the half marathon, 10K, or 5K, accommodating those seeking a longer trail run and those preferring a shorter holiday event.
The route utilizes the Jordan River Trail System, offering a direct path along the river for each distance. The race incorporates the holiday theme with green shirts for runners and green top hats, adding visible green elements to the start area and course.
Eggs Legs Half Marathon, 10K, 5K
The Eggs Legs Half Marathon, 10K, and 5K is an Easter-themed running event held at Gardner Village in West Jordan, Utah. Participants can select between a half marathon, 10K, or 5K race. The half marathon begins in the morning, with the 10K and 5K races following. A virtual race option is available, alongside an invitation-only pacer half marathon for select runners.
The event is centered around Gardner Village, deviating from a typical citywide course. The primary attraction follows the races: the venue transforms into an Easter egg hunt. Organizers also feature the "REAL" Easter Bunny, ensuring a family-friendly atmosphere despite the inclusion of a full half marathon. The range of race distances accommodates beginners, recreational runners, and those training for a spring fitness objective in the half marathon.
May the Fourth Race Half Marathon, 10K, 5K
Run at night with friends along the Legacy Parkway Trail System, choosing the light or dark side. The Race Director Strikes Back this year! The May the Fourth Race starts and finishes at the Legacy Events Space Center.

About Half Marathon races in Salt Lake City
Salt Lake City-Murray Training Notes
Salt Lake City hosts 31 Half Marathon races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.
Locals run the Jordan River Parkway for steady base miles, especially the 3900 South to 12300 South stretch through the valley. The Murray City Section from 4800 S to 6400 S stays maintained in winter, so it keeps Z2 honest. The inside paved loop runs 4 miles. The perimeter grass loop runs 8.2 miles. Salt Lake City Track Club handles Tuesday Speedwork at East High School and long runs from 7:00 to 12:00 minute miles. The RUN SLC Race Series, Salt Lake City Marathon, and Liberty Park Endurance Runs anchor the calendar.
Locals ride paved paths along waterways, wide roads with good shoulders, and canyon climbs that start fast from town. Bonneville Cycling Club gives riders 500+ riding opportunities per year, and Contender Bicycles shows up in the gravel scene with rowdy mixed routes. City Creek Canyon runs 10 miles out and back with 1122 feet of elevation gain. Emigration Canyon gives climbers 16 miles out and back with 1339 feet of elevation gain. Millcreek Canyon hits 18 miles out and back with 2628 feet of elevation gain. Big Cottonwood Canyon makes riders earn 30 miles out and back with 4104 feet of elevation gain. Salt Lake Criterium and The Ultimate Challenge are the big anchor events.
Salt Lake City sits at 1,300 m and the Wasatch rising hard to the east. Summer puts the Salt Lake Criterium in the Granary District and Level Crossing Brewing Company at Post District, and The Ultimate Challenge brings gran fondo energy into the same orbit. Runners keep mornings productive on City Creek Canyon, Sugar House Park, Liberty Park, and the Jordan River Parkway. Winter sends some runners to the maintained Murray City Section or the 442-meter indoor track at the Utah Olympic Oval. Snow partially closes Millcreek Canyon Road, and valley trails ride better once they melt off and drain.
