Information
Start time is 6:30 AM for the Marathon. 6:45 for the Half Marathon.
Both races start at Newpark Plaza and follow a set course trail throughout the Park City Trail System.
At 6:30 am the gunshot start is enough to get anyone going. This road race follows a loop that flows along a paved bike path, gravel and paved rural roads, and back into downtown Park City, where relay participants can hand over the race. Runners then start their slow climb through residential areas and the local ski resort, gaining just 500 feet over the course of 4 miles. This is followed by a quick steep spurt at mile 17. The trail then descends gradually, passing Old Town, Poison Creek, and Rail Trail, to the finish line.
Be prepared for brisk mornings, hot days, and don't forget to drink lots of water . . . you will be running at 7,000 feet.
