Salt Lake Marathon Will Take Place Saturday, April 20
Our hearts go out to the people
affected by the bombings at the Boston Marathon. To the people from
all around the world who were running in the race. To the staff and
volunteers, and to the spectators. We're all affected by these
senseless tragedies, to a greater or lesser extent.
The Salt Lake Marathon will go forward
as planned on Saturday, April 20, albeit with heightened security.
We must all press forward...
The local event is a qualifying race
for the Boston Marathon. We're proud of that affiliation.
The Salt Lake Marathon will bring
crowds to Salt Lake City and
will disrupt traffic in some areas. The Marathon provided this course
description:
Runners of all
ages and ability levels will enjoy crisp, cool running weather in
April, in a setting that surrounds them with snow-capped peaks
contrasting with spring blossoms, all along a flat and slightly
downhill course. The Marathon, Half marathon, and Bike Tour all start
at the Olympic Legacy Bridge at the University of Utah, the site of
the 2002 Winter Olympic Athlete Village. The gentle course then
skirts the base of the towering Wasatch Mountains, passes by cozy
neighborhoods and elegant estates, and winds through Salt Lake’s
legendary wide streets, finishing in beautiful Liberty Park!
Shuttles will provide transportation from Liberty Park to TRAX after
the race.
The Marathon
website provides details about the race, and related events. The
