Biegi Marathon w pobliżu Highway City

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 Better Being Antelope Island Marathon is part of the Buffalo Run on Antelope Island, a spring trail-running event where wild bison may be near the route. Runners choose from 25K, 50K, and 50-mile distances, all on rolling singletrack through desert grasslands with open views toward the Great Salt Lake. The event began in 2006 with 150 runners in the 25K and 50K, then later added the 50-mile race. The 25K race is about 16.48 miles with roughly 1,687 feet of climbing, while the 50K has about 3,038 feet of gain and the 50-mile race has about 3,428 feet. All three distances use an 11:59 p.m. cut-off, allowing the day for faster runners chasing records and people trying to finish a long trail race. The Pentalon Challenge adds prize money for new course records: $500 in the 50-mile and 50K races, and $250 in the 25K.

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.

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.

Maraton Salt Lake City startuje z okolic podnóża gór, dokładnie przy Olympic Legacy Bridge na kampusie University of Utah. Potem zbiega się w dół do miasta, a meta jest na Library Square w centrum. To kwietniowy bieg uliczny, organizowany od 2004 roku. Główną imprezą weekendu jest oczywiście pełny maraton, ale jest też półmaraton, 10K, 5K, Kids K i wycieczka rowerowa. Maraton i półmaraton mają ten sam start, a rowerzyści jadą trasą maratonu wcześniej rano. Przyciąga sporo ludzi – od maratończyków szukających szybkiego zbiegu, po całe rodziny, które startują w tych krótszych dystansach. Kids K jest dla dzieciaków do 10 lat. Trasa prowadzi z wyżej położonych terenów nad Salt Lake City, przez centrum miasta, zahacza o fragmenty Wasatch foothills i ciągnie się do pobliskich Millcreek i Holladay, żeby potem wrócić pętlą na metę w centrum. Biegnąc, masz niezakłócony widok na Wasatch Mountains, ale trasa jest wyraźnie miejska – przechodzi przez dzielnice, lokalne uliczki, obok firm i głównymi drogami, a nie jakimiś szlakami. Półmaraton jest głównie płaski albo zbiegowy. Rekordy trasy maratonu to 2:15:14 u mężczyzn i 2:30:08 u kobiet. Bieg początkowo organizowało Devine Racing, potem kilka razy zmieniał właściciela, a teraz oferuje standardowe udogodnienia dużych biegów: zabezpieczone trasy, koszulki, medale, numery startowe z chipem, gadżety od sponsorów i spotkanie po biegu z jedzeniem, napojami, muzyką i różnymi atrakcjami.
