Marathon Details

Feel the excitement again!

Be part of the 2009 season.

 

The Salt Lake Tribune declared the race “had everything it needed to be a stunning success – from world class athletes mixing with hundreds of ‘regular’ runners to flawless organization, an army of spirited volunteers and astonishing community support along almost every inch of the 26.2-mile course around the city. Just like the Olympics everything about the event was an utter joy to experience.”

The Course

Top runners from around the world will enjoy crisp, cool running weather in a setting that surrounds them with snow-capped peaks contrasting with spring blossoms, all along a flat and slightly downhill 26.2 mile course.

The Salt Lake City Marathon starts at the Olympic Legacy Bridge on the campus of the University of Utah, the site of the 2002 Winter Olympic & Paralympic Athlete’s Village. The gentle course then skirts through the municipalities of Holladay, Murray, South Salt Lake and through Salt Lake City and County. The route runs around the base of the towering Wasatch Mountains, passes by cozy neighborhoods and elegant estates and winds through Salt Lake’s legendary wide streets, into the city center, via Liberty Park. Here, the music will absolutely rock, the energy will surge, and crowds of enthusiastic spectators will cheer participants on, all the way to the electric finish at the Olympic Legacy Plaza at The Gateway, in downtown Salt Lake.
