A long, gradual east-to-west downhill descent along Big Cottonwood Canyon Road awaits runners at the Vigor Big Cottonwood Canyon Half Marathon, which follows a point-to-point route that starts high up in the Wasatch Mountains overlooking Salt Lake City and finishes in the valley below, near Cottonwood Heights. The race starting line lies at Solitude Mountain Resort, and from there runners head west all the way to the race finish line at the Old Mill One Building.
