Top of Utah Marathon

The event takes place annually in Logan, Utah, with both the start and finish located in downtown Logan, typically at 60 West 100 North, making logistics straightforward for participants who can park near the start and finish lines without early morning busing. The race is scheduled for Saturday, September 20, 2025, starting at 7:10 AM.
The marathon covers the full 26.2-mile distance and serves as Utah’s USATF Marathon Championship for 2025, offering prize money to both open and masters categories along with age division awards. The course is characterized by its generally flat terrain through the west side of Logan and surrounding neighborhoods, though some past editions included a notable net downhill descent starting in Blacksmith Fork Canyon, with roughly the first 18 miles gradually descending and the remaining miles running through Logan’s residential areas and finishing in a central city park. In recent formats, the route is described as almost pancake-flat, providing views of surrounding mountains.
Special features include abundant and well-stocked aid stations often with supplies typical of much longer ultramarathon events chip-timed results, finisher medals, and on-course photography. A unique tradition at the start line has featured individuals in historic attire firing muskets to signal the beginning of the race, contributing a local cultural touch to the event.
The marathon is one of the oldest continually run marathons in Utah, celebrating its 27th year in 2025. Race registration and packet pickup are managed in person at a downtown location, and the event offers additional amenities such as pre-race refreshments and an official race shirt in the participant packet. The timing of the event in early fall often provides scenery with changing leaves, and forecasts typically offer cool, running-friendly weather conditions.
Spectator presence can vary, with much of the course being sparsely attended but areas of enthusiastic local support, especially as runners pass back into city neighborhoods. Overall, the event is structured for ease of access, scenic running, and a balance of competitive and community atmosphere.
