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 Bear Canyon Trail Run takes place in Sandy, Utah, starting at 2860 Wasatch Blvd. This event supports cancer charities and offers three distances: a 5K, the 11-mile Bear Canyon Classic, and the 20-mile Bear Canyon Challenge. Held in October, the 11-mile loop is the primary attraction, featuring approximately 4,100 feet of elevation gain and steep descents. Participants seeking a greater challenge can opt to repeat the loop or choose the 20-mile option, which involves multiple circuits. The route crosses Sandy’s Hidden Valley Park, incorporating trails such as the Trail of the Eagle and the Cherry Canyon Logging Trail. Previously known as the Corner Canyon Ultra Trail Run, this race has a history despite its new name. The charitable aspect is significant, with proceeds benefiting a family in need and assisting cancer patients and their families. Dale Wayman, a 16-year-old diagnosed with HLH, a rare blood disorder, is a named recipient currently undergoing chemotherapy and treatment.

The event maintains a straightforward format: a 5K run, a ruck option for participants carrying weight, and a shorter kids run. Check-in and bib pickup are available before the races. Every entry includes a custom race medal, providing the same finish-line experience for kids run participants as for those in the longer events.

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 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.
