The Utah Valley Marathon, Half Marathon, 10K & 5K takes place on Friday June 5 and Saturday June 6, 2026 in Provo Canyon and downtown Provo, Utah. Founded in 2008 by Hyrum Oaks and Jeremiah West, this event has grown into one of the most beloved races in the American West, attracting 4,568 participants across all distances in 2025. Named a Top 10 Race by Runner's World Magazine, the Utah Valley Marathon is a USATF-certified Boston Qualifier that courses through some of Utah's most spectacular scenery — past Deer Creek Reservoir, along the Provo River, beneath cascading Bridal Veil Falls, and through rugged Provo Canyon with the Wasatch Range towering overhead.
The weekend kicks off Friday June 5 with the 5K at Riverwoods (7:45 PM) and the Fitness Expo at the Utah Valley Convention Center (10 AM–8 PM). Saturday June 6 sees the main events: the Marathon (6:00 AM), Half Marathon (6:00 AM), 10K (7:00 AM), and the free Kids 1K Fun Run. Ring the PR Bell at the finish and let everyone celebrate with you. Run the 5K on Friday and any race on Saturday to earn the coveted Triple Medal Challenge (3 medals in 2 days).
«The Utah Valley Marathon was named a Top 10 Race by Runner's World Magazine. The course is a fast Boston Qualifier that is almost entirely downhill. The scenery is incredible with waterfalls, a reservoir, Provo River, and the Mountains. After you set your record time on our fast course be sure to ring the PR Bell in the finish, so that everyone can join in your celebration.» — utahvalleymarathon.com
All Race Events — June 5-6, 2026
🏔 Boston Qualifier — Net Downhill, USATF Certified, Legal for BQ
The Utah Valley Marathon is one of the fastest courses in the United States. The marathon starts near Wallsburg, Utah in upper Provo Canyon and descends nearly 1,444 feet over 26.2 miles into downtown Provo — just below the 1,500ft net drop limit for Boston Qualification, meaning no time penalty is applied. The course is USATF certified and officially recognized by the Boston Athletic Association as a qualifying race. Course records: Men 2:15:52 (Melese Kifle, 2025) · Women 2:37:35 (Obsie Birru, 2021). VIP Registration available for elite athletes.
🎗️ Supporting Four Charities — CharityVision, Mentor's International, Mac's Gift & Road to Success
The Utah Valley Marathon supports four nonprofit organizations: CharityVision (restoring sight to the blind worldwide), Mentor's International, Mac's Gift, and Road to Success. Every registration contributes to these causes, making each step from Provo Canyon to the PR Bell at the finish line count for something bigger than a personal record.
