Corridas de Marathon perto de Bluffdale

The Wasatch 1/2 Marathon and 10K is a mostly trail race based at Soldier Hollow in Utah, with both distances starting and finishing near the Soldier Hollow Nordic Center. The half marathon starts at 8:00 a.m. and the 10K follows at 8:10, so runners usually begin in cool mountain air, with early temperatures often in the 30s to 50s Fahrenheit. TriUtah presents the event, and parking is at the start and finish area, so runners do not need a shuttle. The course uses signed and volunteer-marked trail sections, but runners are still expected to know the route and use caution. Aid stations sit at Deer Creek North Trailhead, the 10K turnaround, and the half marathon turnaround, though runners are encouraged to carry their own water and nutrition. Finishers receive a shirt and medal, awards go three deep in 10-year age groups, and the race is now in its seventh annual running.

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.

O Salt Lake City Marathon larga perto do pé das montanhas, na Olympic Legacy Bridge, dentro do campus da University of Utah, depois vai descendo em direção à cidade e termina em Library Square, no centro. Essa prova de rua em abril, realizada desde 2004, tem o full marathon como prova principal dentro de um fim de semana maior, que também conta com half marathon, 10K, 5K, Kids K e um bike tour. O full e o half marathon largam do mesmo ponto, e o bike tour usa a rota do marathon mais cedo pela manhã. O evento junta desde maratonistas atrás de um trecho rápido em descida até famílias inscritas nas distâncias menores, com o Kids K pensado para crianças de 10 anos ou menos. O percurso sai de uma parte mais alta acima de Salt Lake City, cruza o centro, passa por trechos do sopé da Wasatch, entra em Millcreek e Holladay ali por perto e depois faz a volta rumo à chegada no downtown. Quem corre tem vista limpa para as Wasatch Mountains, mas o rolê é bem urbano: passa por bairros, ruas locais, comércio e avenidas principais, nada de trilha. O half marathon é quase todo plano ou em descida. Os recordes do marathon são 2:15:14 no masculino e 2:30:08 no feminino. A prova começou organizada pela Devine Racing, passou por algumas mudanças de dono e hoje entrega aquela estrutura padrão de evento grande: percursos com suporte, camisetas, medalhas, chips no número de peito, brindes de patrocinadores e um pós-prova com comida, bebidas, música e atividades.
