The Malad Valley Marathon is run on Saturday, September 11, 2027, at Malad City Park in Malad City, Idaho, about 90 minutes north of Salt Lake City. It is the second Saturday of September every year, and 2026 was the first edition. The marathon runs the valley loop twice, about half on hard-packed dirt and half on asphalt, with roughly 1,260 feet (384 m) of climbing and descent at about 4,500 feet of elevation. All distances share one mass start at 8:00 AM Mountain Time, and the course closes at 3:00 PM, a 7-hour cutoff. Four aid stations on the course and one at the finish offer water, electrolytes and snacks. Every finisher gets a custom medal, and a race shirt comes with entries paid by August 21, 2027. The 2027 edition has a Run to Remember theme honoring the lives lost on 9/11. A half marathon, 10K, 5K and 1 Mile Fun Run run alongside it.
