Important Note: The courses are the same from 2011 Layton Marathon. The 2010 Half Marathon course changed in 2011 to include a bused out start for an upgraded Start to Finish instead of Out and Back course. It is must more scenic and fairly safer then a course that might cause a collision with Out and Back.

All Races have a chip start and finish to insure accurate times and places. USATF requires the top three overall finishers to be measured based on a shot gun start in the situation there is a winner based on chip time that beats the overall finisher.

Most races in Utah have several thousand feet of change. The lack of elevation change is one of the factors that gives the Layton Marathon the ability to be a World Record course and an Olympic Qualifier.
