21. Salt Lake City Marathon
Description
The Salt Lake City Marathon has been held annually since 2004 and will take place on Saturday, April 25, 2026. The event is presented by the University of Utah Health and features an impressive course that starts on the Olympic Legacy Bridge and ends in Library Square – offering breathtaking views of the Wasatch Mountains and passing through iconic neighborhoods of Salt Lake City ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_Lake_City_Marathon?utm_source=openai)). The course is Boston-qualified and designed as a point-to-point route with a total descent of about 455 m and an ascent of 277 m – a challenging elevation profile at over 1,460 m starting altitude ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_Lake_City_Marathon?utm_source=openai)).
The history of the marathon began in 2004, and it has steadily grown since then ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_Lake_City_Marathon?utm_source=openai)). In 2025, the event reached new participant records with about 1,638 finishers – particularly for the marathon distance ([downhillmarathons.com](https://downhillmarathons.com/marathon-detail.php?marathon=Salt-Lake-City-Marathon&utm_source=openai)). The number of participants for 2026 is expected to be similar, with around 1,600 finishers projected.
On the day before, Friday, April 24, 2026, the so-called "Quality of Life Expo" will take place – here, packet pickup occurs along with a large sports expo featuring exhibitors on running apparel, nutrition, and equipment ([saltlakecitymarathon.com](https://saltlakecitymarathon.com/schedule/?utm_source=openai)).
On race day, the marathon and half marathon start at 7:00 AM, the 10K at 7:05 AM, and the 5K at 7:10 AM, followed by children's activities such as the Kids K at 10:45 AM ([saltlakecitymarathon.com](https://saltlakecitymarathon.com/schedule/?utm_source=openai)).
The course runs through urban and scenically attractive areas, supported by numerous aid and water stations as well as a safe and professional organization ([ahotu.com](https://www.ahotu.com/event/university-of-utah-health-salt-lake-city-marathon?utm_source=openai)). After crossing the finish line, runners can celebrate at the Post-Race Festival in Library Square, featuring music, food, and a community atmosphere ([ahotu.com](https://www.ahotu.com/event/university-of-utah-health-salt-lake-city-marathon?utm_source=openai)). Additionally, the event supports the Huntsman Cancer Institute through the "Huntsman Heroes" program – all proceeds go entirely to research and treatment ([saltlakecitymarathon.com](https://saltlakecitymarathon.com/?utm_source=openai)).
This marathon event combines impressive scenery with athletic challenge and charitable commitment, offering both experienced marathoners and casual runners an unforgettable running experience.
