Apex Half Marathon
The Apex Half Marathon takes place on January 10, 2026, at the Butterfield Canyon Trailhead in Herriman, Utah. The event is held on Butterfield Canyon road, which is closed to vehicle traffic in winter. The course goes straight up the canyon road and back down. Organizers offer two distances:
- Half Marathon
- 10k
Snowshoes are required for all runners for both distances. There are no aid stations on course. Wristbands will be used at the turnaround points to verify completion of the full distance.
Logistics and race details
Packet pickup is available at the Salt Lake Running Company store in Sandy and there is race day pickup at the starting area. Registration pricing varies by period; late registration begins December 10 and closes January 9. Same-day registration is not available. Runners may not be guaranteed a race shirt if they register late.
Runners receive a race shirt and a locally made finisher medal. Post-race food includes breads and cinnamon rolls plus chocolate milk, orange juice, and bananas. Overall half marathon awards include locally made plaques and gift cards for first place; age-division medals are given for top three in each listed age group. Free photos will be taken on course and at the finish and will be available without a watermark. Free parking is available, with a larger parking lot about half a mile from the start. In the event of extreme winter weather the race may be canceled and entrants will receive a credit valid for one year. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
