Details
Set for its inaugural running in the fall of 2010, the Layton Marathon,
Half Marathon, 10K & 5K races will take runners along a course
through this northern Utah city's mostly flat city streets, which lie
in the shadow of the majestic Wasatch Mountains just to the east of
town. While the full marathon will take runners on a point-to-point
course that starts on Antelope Island State Park in the middle of Great
Salt Lake and finishes in Layton, the half will follow an out-and-back
route that starts and finishes at the marathon finish line, at Layton's
Ellison Park.
Those running the half start at the park, on North 2200 West, and
follow the course as it winds first southward toward Gentiel Street,
and then turns right (and west) onto Gentile for the next few miles.
From the starting line, runners follow what is mostly a long, gradual
downhill along miles 1 through 4, and then follow mostly flat terrain
for the next four miles or so, through the turnaround point on South
4000 West and then back toward the finish line.
After runners make their way past the mile 9 marker, the race course
then starts a long, gradual uphill back up to the finish in Ellison
Park, rising from a low point of roughly 4,220 feet above sea level to
a peak of just under 4,350 feet above sea level as runners are
finishing the race.

Bay, just over 20 miles north of Salt Lake City, the city of Layton

2.1 inches for the month.
