Can I register on race day?

You can register on race day for either the 5k or 10k race. However, we highly recommend registering in advance or at our pre-race packet pickup on the Wednesday before the race. Online registration is available up until and on race day. Race day registration and pickup lines tend to be long. If you wait until race day to register, you risk missing the race start. We don't want you to travel to the race and not be able to start on time. Please plan ahead and arrive early. 

You should arrive at race day registration at Memory Grove Park at least 60 minutes before your race to allow time for a comfortable registration process, warm up, and starting line up. 

Is the course closed?

Yes. Runner safety is our top priority, and we dedicate many hours to making the course as safe as possible. The Salt Lake City Sheriff's Department will be stationed along the course, which will be closed to vehicle traffic. However, no street is completely closed. You will be running through residential neighborhoods on streets open to the public. 

Drivers can make mistakes, so be aware of your surroundings. You must assume responsibility for your own safety at all times. We recommend running without headphones. Our race course is beautiful and scenic, so we suggest you enjoy it and take in the sights, smells, and sounds of the course.

Do participants receive a finishing medal?

Registered runners of all races wearing the proper race bib on their front will receive a finisher's medal after successfully completing the race, crossing the finish line, and picking up their medal at the medal distribution location.

Do you allow strollers?

No. Strollers will not be permitted on the race course for the safety of all participants. 

Can I bring my dog?

Please note that service dogs are allowed, but no other dogs will be allowed for the safety and comfort of all participants.
