Runtastic Marathon
The Runtastic Marathon is an inaugural spring running event scheduled for April 11, 2026, in Provo, Utah. The race follows a point-to-point route that transitions from the mountains to the lake. The marathon course begins in upper Provo Canyon and features a 1,450-foot descent. Participants follow the Provo River Trail and city paths, concluding at Utah Lake State Park. This course is certified for Boston Marathon qualification with no time penalties due to the elevation profile being within specific standards.
The event offers several race distances and formats to accommodate different participants:
- Marathon: A 26.2-mile downhill course from Provo Canyon to Utah Lake State Park.
- Marathon Relay: A 26.2-mile race for teams of 2-4 runners, divided into four segments.
- 5K: A flat, scenic race located along the shores of Utah Lake.
- Kids Run: A short distance event held at the main venue.
The Marathon Relay segments cover distances ranging from approximately 5.2 miles to 7.8 miles. The first leg starts in the mountains, while the final leg runs through the heart of Provo to the finish line at the lake. Registration remains open until the day of the race, closing one hour before the designated marathon bus loading or the start of the shorter races. Participants receive a race shirt and a finisher medal upon completion. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
