Apex Half Marathon

The Apex Half Marathon, hosted by Happy Trails Running, is a challenging winter race held in Butterfield Canyon near Herriman, Utah. Known as the hardest half marathon offered by the organization, it features a scenic, vehicle-free canyon road with significant elevation gain and beautiful mountain views. The event includes both a half marathon and a 10k option, both requiring snowshoes due to snow and icy conditions.

The course is straightforward, running up and back along the canyon road, with no aid stations to increase the challenge. Participants receive a high-quality race shirt, a custom finisher’s medal, and enjoy a post-race breakfast. The race emphasizes a fun yet demanding winter trail experience.
