The University of Utah Health Salt Lake City Marathon

The University of Utah Health Salt Lake City Marathon offers a scenic and high-altitude challenge through Utah’s capital and surrounding cities of Millcreek and Holladay. Starting at the Olympic Legacy Bridge near 4,800 feet (1,463 meters), the point-to-point course drops steadily toward downtown, providing panoramic views of the Wasatch Mountains and urban landmarks like Library Square. Runners pass Salt Lake City neighborhoods and iconic cityscapes as crowds cheer from sidewalks, accompanied by music and local energy. The event includes a half marathon, 10K, 5K, bike tour, and Kids K—making it a full community celebration. Well-supported with 17 aid stations, on-course pacers, and strong medical presence, the race combines elite competition with accessible, well-organized participation. After the race, finishers can enjoy a festival with food and music.
