Southern Utah Halloween Half Marathon, 5k, and Relay

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.

Snow Canyon Half Marathon 10k 5k Fun Run Walk n' Roll

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 Gobbler 10K, 5K, & Kids 1K Run

The Gobbler is a Thanksgiving morning run in Southern Utah, offering a 10K, 5K, and Kids 1K, allowing families to select a distance suitable for the day. The event area opens at 7:00 a.m., with races commencing at 8:00 a.m. Official timing ensures runners receive a proper result before returning home for the holiday meal. 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.

Hungry Hustle 5K Ugly Sweater Fun Run

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 Half Marathon, Relay, & 5K

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.

Run Run Reindeer 5K Fun Run

Run Run Reindeer is a non-timed 5K family fun run in Ivins, Utah, beginning at Main Street and 100 North near Ivins City Park. This holiday-season race starts at 9 a.m. and is designed for families, friends, pets, costumes, and Christmas music, rather than for achieving a personal best. The course features Christmas music, selfie stations, sponsor booths, and stops for treats and giveaways post-run. Participants receive a custom Christmas scarf instead of a standard race shirt, along with an oversized finisher medal and sponsor items. Prizes for the best festive outfits include St. George Running Center gift cards, and the ugliest sweater also receives an award. Runners may bring a new, unopened toy for Toys for Tots; previous donations from the event supported over 300 local children.

Sun Marathon - 26.2 - 13.1 - 10K - 5K

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.

St. George Training Notes

St. George hosts 10 5K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.

St. George runners get base miles from the paved urban trails, the Virgin River, Santa Clara River, Pioneer Park, Tonaquint Nature Center, and the roads out toward Ivins and Santa Clara. Locals use Webb Hill to Dixie Drive for short efforts and Kayenta Loop when they want desert rhythm without drama. The St. George Marathon is the anchor event, and Vernon Worthen Park gets the finish-line buzz. George Running Club runs Track Workouts, Tempo Runs, and Long Runs from January to September. The Kayenta Loop is 00 km with 188 m of gain. The Kayenta Loop is 43 km with 215 m of gain. The St. George Marathon is the anchor event, and Vernon Worthen Park gets the finish-line buzz. George Marathon is the anchor event, and Vernon Worthen Park gets the finish-line buzz.

St. George riders split time between road, gravel, and singletrack because the climbing and dirt start right away. Locals use Kayenta for beginner road miles, Snow Canyon for the Ironman-course feel, City Loop for parkways, and Veyo Loop when the legs need a classic advanced route. Wasatch CX Team Camp brings the cyclocross crowd into the same terrain. The climbs here hit 780 m over 3 km. Turkey Farm, Apex Mine, Diamond Valley, Cove Wash, Zen, and Bearclaw Poppy keep gravel and MTB honest. Hoodoo 500 and Tour of Southern Utah are the big anchors.

Spring and fall are the cleanest training windows, with March through May and September through November giving runners and riders the best shot at steady Z2, intervals, and long weekends. St. George sits below 900 meters, so summer gets real early. Average highs run over 32°C from late April to early October, and July sits around 37°C. Locals move long runs, gravel rides, and Snow Canyon repeats to early morning, and Turkey Farm gravel is a past-10 AM bad idea in summer. Winter stays mild, but December lows average around 1°C and nighttime freezes change starts, layers, and shady corners.
