After you cross the Finish Line, head to the big Gear Check tent at the post-race party. Show your bib to claim your bag, grab your gear, and get back to celebrating!
Yes...bring your power playlist! Just keep the volume low enough to hear your surroundings, including instructions from race officials, nearby runners, and traffic. Your favorite song can keep you moving, but staying aware helps keep everyone safe!

For added peace of mind, we offer the option to defer your entry to the following year for a small fee, plus low-cost registration insurance available at registration.
Let someone else do the driving...you’ve got miles to save your legs for! FrontRunner and TRAX make it easy to leave the car behind, skip the parking hunt, and make your race weekend a little greener.
Heading to the Expo? Connect from your part of the valley to the TRAX Green Line and hop off at Fairpark Station, just about a five-minute walk from the Utah State Fairpark. Less time finding parking means more time enjoying the Expo!
Heading to the race? Your participant bib doubles as your ticket for free FrontRunner and TRAX rides on race day only. With Medical Center Station near the marathon and half marathon start and Library Station near the finish, transit is a convenient way to get to the action and head home after celebrating.
Plan your route and check schedules with UTA before you go. Expo-day fares still apply, so save those free rides for race day!
