It will start promptly at 6:00 a.m. at the Olympic Legacy Bridge near the
Fort Douglas TRAX stop and wind through the Salt Lake Valley in a non-stop
thrill ride through town. The course follows the marathon route, with the
exception of the loops through Liberty Park and Sugar House Park, and ends
just west of the electric marathon finish at The Gateway. The course passes
through parts of Salt Lake City, Holladay City, Murray, East Millcreek
Township, City of South Salt Lake City and the Gateway.
This one-of-a-kind opportunity to ride the course without a single stop
offers bicycle aficionados great perks, too. Included in the entry fee is a
NordicTrack performance cycling shirt, $5 ticket coupon to the rockin' post
race awards and concert featuring a national touring act, massages at the
finish, goody bags filled with great stuff from our sponsors, admission to
the Health and Fitness Expo on Thursday and Friday, a chance to attend the
Fazoli's Pasta Party on Friday night, and admission to the spectacular Wild
Oats All-Natural refreshment area at the finish line at The Gateway.
Cyclists must keep a minimum speed of 15 mph and be able to complete the
course in 1:45. This is not a course for beginners. As this is a
non-competitive event, there will be no official times offered. A clock
will be near the finish line to show run time. A maximum speed will be
established by the Salt Lake City Police Department vehicles at 30 MPH.
Cyclists are encouraged to park at the Merrill Engineering lot at the University of Utah campus and ride to the start of the race at the George Eccles Olympic Legacy Bridge.
