A Fast and Scenic Marathon Course

The Utah Valley Marathon course is both scenic and fast.  You will notice in the elevation chart above that the course is almost entirely downhill.  There are a couple small climbs, but this is a predominantly downhill race.  You have a net loss of 1444 feet in elevation (just below the 1500 ft time penalty the Boston Marathon imposes).  The other unique feature about the race that will aid your speed is that there are very few turns on this course.  Fewer turns helps you run faster (every 90 degree turn in a race is a momentum killer), and fewer turns helps prevent runners from going off course. After you set your PR on our easy and fast course be sure to ring our PR gong in the finish, so people can join you in the celebration. The race runs by the Beautiful Deer Creek Reservoir, Provo River, Provo Canyon, and the mountains in all directions.  Join us this June!
