High Uinta Half Marathon
The High Uinta Half Marathon is a set of running options held above the Kamas and Francis area in Utah. The event includes multiple race formats, including a road or trail half marathon, a virtual half marathon, a 5K, a 10K, and an invite-only pacer entry.
- Half Marathon: 13.1 Miles
- Virtual Race: 13.1 Miles
- 5K: 3.1 Miles
- 10K: 6.2 Miles
- Half Marathon Pacer (Invite Only): 13.1 Miles
The half marathon course is primarily downhill. Organizers describe the course as 99% decline over the 13.1 Miles with about 2,600 feet of net descent and very little uphill or flat sections. The start is located at one of the higher elevations used for races in Utah; in a past year the starting area still had snow in early July.
Scenery along the route includes aspens, pines, and rivers. The higher starting elevation can result in cooler, springlike conditions even in midsummer. The virtual option allows participants to complete the 13.1 Miles remotely, and the pacer entry is listed as invite only. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
