Apex Half Marathon

The Apex Half Marathon, held in Butterfield Canyon near Herriman, Utah, is known as the most challenging half marathon offered by Happy Trails Running. Taking place in winter, the race features a scenic, vehicle-free canyon road with significant elevation gain and snow-covered terrain, requiring all participants to wear snowshoes. A 10k option is also available on a less snowy, lower canyon route.

The course is straightforward, running up and back along the canyon road without aid stations, adding to the challenge. Runners receive a quality race shirt, a custom finisher’s medal, and enjoy a post-race breakfast. Awards are given for overall and age group winners, and free professional photos are provided.
