In the meantime, if you are from the flats, welcome to the beautiful mountains! Our course is not deliberately tortuous, but hey, the mountains are part of what makes it beautiful. The course climbs 878 feet over 15.7 miles (1-2% average), and then the return is downward trending.• Starting Elevation: 6,372’ Newpark Plaza • Marathon high point: 7,250 at Snow Park Lodge, Deer Valley Ski Resort, mile 15.75 • Half marathon start: 6,372’, climbing to 6,700’ at turn around pointWe’ve provide a great variety of terrain so you won’t be bored – six tunnels, a skier bridge in Old Town, a two-block long 16% uphill kicker at mile 18 (honorable to walk here), and a nice long downhill after that! It’s going to be “the high point of your summer” for sure! We are working on getting a course map posted shortly. In the meantime, if you are from the flats, welcome to the beautiful mountains!

Be sure to register as a "Walking Participant". Walking participants should head out with the knowledge that there will not be support on course initially. It’s advisable to carry water and a headlamp, and know the first few miles of the course in the dark! Plan on being part of the walking group leaving at 5:00a.m. Yes we will offer an early start for walking participants. Be sure to register as a “Walking Participant”.
