On May 20, 2017, hundreds of runners, spectators, and visitors will flock to Ogden and Ogden Valley for the annual Ogden Marathon. 

25% Discount on 2017 Ogden Marathon Accommodations

Created in 2001, the Ogden Marathon is an annual race and charity event held every summer in Ogden, Utah. The event actually holds seven different races: a full marathon, a half marathon, a 5K, a relay marathon, a corporate cup, a "Kids K,"and a wheelchair division. 

The race begins eight miles east of Huntsville on Highway 39, just below the Red Rock Outfitters Ranch. The starting elevation is 5,400 feet. The first six miles of the course are on a gradual descent. From there, runners enter into the town of Huntsville and turn north on Highway 166. The course passes along the north side of Pineview Reservoir, entering into Eden. This is the half-way point of the race and the starting point for the half marathon. The course then runs along the west side of the Reservoir toward Ogden Canyon. This is the biggest descent of the course, as runners head down Ogden Canyon toward Ogden. After leaving Ogden Canyon, the course follows the Ogden River Parkway. This is where the 5K portion of the race begins. From here, runners will enter onto Grant Avenue, the final stretch of the race. The finish line is located at the intersection of Grant Avenue and Historic 25^th Street.

Water and Gatorade stations, medical stations, fruit stations, and CLIF Shot and CLIF Bar stations will be available at certain intervals throughout the race.

Public registration for all of the Ogden Marathon events is still opened and will be available until the morning of race day. For registration information, click here.
