Escape the winter chill and bask in the warm sunshine of Southern Utah at the Sun Marathon! In Santa Clara, Utah.
Offering four distances—Full Marathon, Half Marathon, 10K, and 5K—this race offers spectacular views and challenges for all participants.
The Marathon/Half Marathon course boasts primarily downhill stretches, climbs, and rollers while the 10K/5K are simpler out-and-back experiences.
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. Full and Half Marathons are bused out starts and 10K and 5K are both on the same route as the Marathon but start at the finish line and do an out and back route, going reverse course on way out and coming back the correct way. This has a net 2500 feet of decline but note there are some hills throughout the race.
Let others know what makes this race so special.
