Event Details

The NEW Logan City Marathon will start and finish in Downtown Logan, along with a 2-person marathon-relay, 10K Urban Trail Race, 5K Fun Run, and a Kids & Family Fun Miler. Race date is September 21, 2019.

We invite you to celebrate the beauty of the Cache Valley by running through historic districts, past golf courses, along river trails, on wide-open country roads, through wetland areas, and all in the shadow of the beautiful Wellsville Mountain Range.

Our new course is the “Flattest Run in the West” with most of the course grade at or near 0. We will keep the same traditional Top of Utah weekend, but leave the Blacksmith Fork Canyon downhill run for the Top of Utah Half Marathon. The new city route will provides an open and fast path through the west-side of Cache Valley. At the half-way point (13.1 miles), the Mendon City Park will allow for a perfect transition site for our NEW 2-person relay hand-off.

All runners start and finish on a strait-forward 6-block stretch down Historic Center Street, and complete their event on the newly remodeled city block in downtown Logan. For this event, you won’t have to get up at 4:30 am to catch a bus, nor bundle-up like a mummy, so get some more sleep and join us as the dawn breaks and the sun crests the Wellsville Cone (~7am).

NEW for 2019, all registered runners will receive a brunch courtesy of Historic Center Street restaurants, featuring a wide-selection of baked goods, waffles and pancakes, crepes, eggs, drinks and other items to refuel after the race. We will also feature music throughout the course and at the start and finish line. We also think you will be BLOWN AWAY by a new Altra Runner’s Festival hosted by our presenting sponsor, Altra Running.
