Why Salt Lake City?
April in Salt Lake City is simply stunning as the city awakens from winter. Spring tulips bloom across the valley, the sun warms the streets, and the Wasatch Mountains still sparkle with snow-capped peaks. Whether you’re exploring museums, dining at top-tier restaurants, visiting Olympic venues, or hiking the beautiful trails—Salt Lake City offers a mix of big-city culture and alpine charm. The best part? In just 20 minutes, you can go from downtown to exploring a peaceful mountain meadow—only in Salt Lake City!
The Course
The marathon, half marathon, and bike tour all begin at the Olympic Legacy Bridge at the University of Utah, the site of the 2002 Winter Olympic Athlete Village. The course then winds through the beautiful Wasatch Mountains, passing through scenic neighborhoods, past historical landmarks, and through iconic parks like Sugar House Park and Liberty Park. The finish line—near Library Square—is electrifying, with live music and passionate fans cheering you on.
