The Sun Marathon has four distances. Full Marathon, Half Marathon, 10K and 5K.  This race purpose is to get runners out of the cold and into the warmth of Southern Utah in the St. George/Santa Clara Area. Though the courses are primarily downhill over the distance there are some rollers and a few climbs. The views during this race are great with huge red rock mountains all around to views of Gunlock Reservoir during the Marathon and a nice river along the Full and Half Marathons.

Voted Utah’s “Best Running Event” and “Best Half Marathon,” the University of Utah Health Salt Lake City Marathon Presented by Bank of America returns for its 23rd annual event on April 25, 2026—where urban meets the mountains. Starting at the Olympic Legacy Bridge, this stunning course delivers sweeping views of the Wasatch Mountains while guiding runners through some of Salt Lake City’s most iconic neighborhoods, before finishing in the heart of downtown. Cross the finish line, soak in what you’ve just accomplished, and celebrate at the post-race party with friends and family. With 5 events to choose from—Full & Half Marathons, 10K, 5K, and a 1K Kids event—there’s truly "Something for everyone." Beautiful? Yes. Challenging? Absolutely. A Beautiful Challenge is what makes the Salt Lake City Marathon a race you need to experience—and run—for yourself.
