Dogtown Races 2027

Dogtown Races is a small late-winter race series in Washington City, Utah, featuring a half marathon, 10K, 5K, and a kids race. The half marathon begins at 193 N Old Highway 91 in Hurricane at 9 a.m. Runners must take a shuttle from Sullivan Virgin River Soccer Park to the start. Participant numbers are limited to under 500, giving it a local community feel rather than a large city event. The half marathon follows a point-to-point course on asphalt, paved trails, and a short dirt-and-gravel section between Landfill Road and Cottonwood Trail. The route goes through Coral Canyon, Highland Park, trail sections, and riverside paths along the Virgin River before ending at Staheli Family Farm. The course is largely fast and flat, with aid stations at approximately miles 2, 4, 6, 10, and 12 providing water, Gatorade, and Gu. It is suitable for beginners and those aiming for a personal best, and the race benefits the local Homeless Animal Rescue Team and public safety department.
