The Lowdown

The East Canyon Marathon is a point-to-point mountain marathon in northern Utah that finishes at the Morgan County Fairgrounds in Morgan. It starts at Big Mountain Pass at the top of Emigration Canyon, overlooking Salt Lake City, and heads east through pine and aspen forest and along the East Canyon Reservoir. The course joins the half marathon about three-quarters of the way around the reservoir, descends Red Rock Canyon, and turns into farmland with grain fields and barns around mile 20. Aid stations with water and Powerade stand every two miles from mile 3, and runners over 6 hours 30 minutes can start early in a separate Slow Racers wave at 5:30 AM. Finishers get a full-color finisher medal and a tech shirt. The next edition is Saturday, September 4, 2027, and On Hill Events also offers a half marathon, 10K and 5K that day.
