Butterfield Canyon Marathon
The Butterfield Canyon Marathon and Half Marathon take place in Herriman, UT on August 28, 2027. Both races start and finish at the Butterfield Trailhead Regional Park at 8307 Herriman Hwy. The course uses local single track, fire road, and dirt road through wooded sections and ridge vistas near the Kennecott Mine.
The event offers:
- Marathon - 26.2 miles, +4,556 ft elevation total
- Half Marathon - 13.1 miles, +1,950 ft elevation total
Course composition and features are stated as mostly dirt trail with fire road and dirt road sections. The marathon notes significant steep and rocky climbs, long descents on single track, and three course segments with listed mileages and elevation changes. The half marathon follows similar terrain with one aid station and specified segment distances and gains.
Aid stations are spaced due to the remoteness of the area and will carry Tailwind, water, Honey Stinger gels and waffles, fruit, and other snacks. Navigation is managed with pink flags, ribbons, signs, and trail marshals; wrong way routes are marked with red flags. A hydration vest or bottle is required for the marathon and strongly recommended for the half due to long gaps between aid stations.
Packet pickup is available the day before at a listed running store and limited race day pickup is offered. Registration pricing varies by period. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
