Bears Ears Marathon

Bears Ears Marathon and Half is held in Blanding, Utah, and offers a marathon (26.2 miles) and half marathon (13.1 miles), with virtual options for both distances. The event features a new, fast point-to-point course that starts in downtown Blanding at about 6,100 feet and follows Highway 191 through San Juan County to Bluff. Runners descend roughly 1,700 feet, contributing to a potentially fast finish and making the marathon a USATF-certified course and a Boston Qualifier.

The route showcases distant mountain scenery and later striking rock formations, but travels along a highway shoulder with traffic. Organized by Visit Blanding. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
