FULL MARATHON | 26.2 MILES

The marathon course will have 17 aid stations spaced approximately 1.3 to 1.7 miles apart. Each aid station will have a restroom facility, water and Gatorade products. GU Energy will also be providing energy gels along the way.

The University of Utah Health Salt Lake City Marathon is open to all participants of age who are able to finish in 6 Hours and 30 Minutes. Participants wishing to complete their event within that timeframe will need to maintain a 15 minute/mile or faster pace. There will be NO early start for runners.

If you plan on participating at a 16 minute pace per mile or slower, please be aware that our permit dictates that the streets that comprise the marathon route are re-opened to vehicular traffic at 1:30 p.m. On-course support (aid stations) will close at this time.

Participants still out on the race course after 1:30 pm will be asked to move to the sidewalks or re-route. SAG wagons will patrol the route providing support to these participants.

We also suggest that walkers and slower participants consider using a fanny pack that accommodates a water bottle and snacks.

• You must use the gear check tag located on your bib to identify your bag.

The medical tent is located at the finish line, and stationary first aid stations will be located at miles 6, 10.5, 15, 19.5 and 24. In addition, each aid station will have access to immediate E.M.T. and ambulance services if needed.
