Jordan River Half Marathon

Jordan River Marathon, organized by Happy Trails Racing, runs on the Jordan River Parkway Trail in South Jordan, Utah, starting and finishing at East River Front Park. Runners choose between the Marathon (26.2 miles) or Half Marathon (13.1 miles), both winding along a scenic 40-mile river trail featuring wetlands, parks, ponds, bridges and golf courses. The course is about 96% paved with a total elevation gain of roughly 392 feet for the marathon.

The event emphasizes a community feel with a post-race breakfast, a locally made finisher medal, awards, and free race photos. Limited to about 300 participants, it also offers trail marshals and pink-marked navigation for safety. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
