Thank you to our sponsors:
Runtastic UTAH CITY is NOW the RUNTASTIC MARATHON for 2026
New Name, Same Great Race — From the Mountains to the Lake
Due to new and continued construction along sections of the originally proposed Runtastic Utah City route, the 2026 course will now finish at Utah Lake State Park in Provo, Utah. Marathon and Relay runners will still start in the mountains, enjoy the fast, scenic 1450′ descent down Provo Canyon, and finish at the lake — delivering the same spring race experience you’ve been looking forward to.
The event will still be on April 11, 2026, and with all the same race distances.
All participants currently registered for Runtastic Utah City are automatically transferred to the same Runtastic Marathon race distances. No action is required.
We are excited to launch the planned Runtastic Utah City race courses in 2027, and Runtastic Marathon Course Map.
We appreciate your continued support and look forward to seeing you at the starting line this April!
