• Description: The Big Cottonwood Marathon is the fastest and most beautiful running event in Utah. It starts at Brighton Ski Resort and for the first 14 miles you will enjoy the beauty and solitude of the canyon in the fall. The grade down Big Cottonwood Canyon is perfect to help you acheive your best race time ever.
  
  After exiting the canyon, you will run along the upper bench overlooking the Salt Lake Valley. This stretch is relatively flat and provides breath-taking views of Salt Lake City. Across the valley you will see the Great Salt Lake and the Oquirrh Mountains.
  
  Around mile 19 you drop off the bench into Holladay and enjoy a gentle downhill grade as you blow through traffic intersections and town centers to the finish line at the Cottonwood Corporate Center. It is a very unique course that offers both a remote canyon feel and fast urban feel.
  
  The marathon course is USATF certified with number UT12015GAN and is thus a Boston Marathon qualifier.
