Rock 'n' Roll Salt Lake City

Rock and Roll Running Series Salt Lake City

Friday: 5K and Kids Rock
Saturday: Rock and Roll Half Marathon Salt Lake City

As the capital and most populated city in the state of Utah, Salt Lake City has become a destination for outdoor enthusiasts. Runners will take in the beautiful snowcapped peaks surrounding the Valley and a vibrant downtown culture, with unforgettable on-course entertainment and a Finish Line Festival in the heart of the city.

Course:
The half marathon course offers runners a blend of Salt Lake City’s urban excitement and scenic mountain views. The 13.1-mile route starts and finishes at downtown’s Library Square Plaza, across from historical landmark City-County Building. The course takes runners through local neighborhoods and along the base of the towering Wasatch Mountains, before returning into the city center. The route passes iconic landmarks such as Utah’s State Capital, the mouth of City Creek Canyon and Memory Grove, the campus of University of Utah and site of the ceremonies for the 2002 Winter Olympic Games, and the unique 23-foot-tall, rainbow-colored humpback whale. A final loop around popular Liberty Park will cap off the run and bring runners to the finish line at Liberty Square. The event is a perfect opportunity to get a running tour of Salt Lake City as the route passes by iconic landmarks.
