Zion Half Marathon : Springdale, Utah
The Zion Half Marathon is a paved, point-to-point road race that starts in Virgin, Utah and finishes in front of Cable Mountain Lodge in Springdale near the south entrance of Zion National Park. The course follows SR-9 and a paved trail alongside the Virgin River, with a steady uphill profile and only two major turns. The route uses wide pavement and a parallel bike path for most of the distance.
Key event features include:
- Half Marathon
- Charity Bib
The event operates on a 4 hour time limit (about 18 minutes per mile). It provides shuttle access from Springdale and La Verkin to the start; there is no start line parking and the start is drop-off only. The race is cup-free: runners must use reusable bottles, a Nathan reusable cup, or a hydration pack. There are five aid stations spaced roughly every two miles (near miles 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11); aid station #1 (near mile 3) is the official clothing drop and aid station #3 has a medic on site. The course is listed as accessible to strollers and wheelchairs.
Additional logistics include an expo and bib pickup on the day before the race at Springdale Town Park, and live timing with place medals and finisher medals awarded across overall, masters, and age-group categories. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
