About this run
The Antelope Island Marathon offers a unique running experience on Antelope Island, the largest island in the Great Salt Lake. This event features four distinct distances: a full marathon, a half marathon, a 10K, and a 5K. Runners will traverse the island, enjoying scenic views of the Great Salt Lake to the east and the Antelope Island mountain range to the west.
This is not a course for those seeking a purely downhill race. The Antelope Island Marathon is designed as a true marathon challenge, incorporating several rolling hills that will test participants' endurance. The island is also known for its population of approximately 600 bison, adding a wild element to the race environment.
