The Southern Utah Triathlon is a great race held at Quail Creek Reservoir. This location is only 10 mins away from locations like St George, Hurricane and Sandhollow Reservoir. This is a great Sprint Course and the Olympic is done in a F1 Format meaning that the Sprint it repeated. This course is not easy but beautiful.
When was the last time you gained weight during a race?!
The Baker's Dozen Half Marathon, Relay, & 5K is your opportunity to combine some of the best things in life: 1) Friends 2) Running & 3) Sugar!
The Baker's Dozen is a social, fun event where runners race a 3.25 mile loop course allowing them to interact with other runners during the whole race. Half marathoners will run the loop four times and have the incredible fortune of passing the aid station (affectionately known as the "Sugar Shack") at the end of every loop.
All half marathon and relay runners will receive an AMAZING finisher's medal. But... you have to earn it. Not only will you run 13 miles, but to earn a medal you must also consume a treat each time you pass the Sugar Shack (3 times total). Volunteers will verify your gluttony, so don't register for the race if you don't plan to eat some calories (each relay runner just needs to eat one treat).
Half marathon not your speed? That's ok! Join us for the "just barely over 5K"!
This road race winds through the scenic farmlands of Hurricane, UT, with a festive finish at the Fisher Family Farm. It’s a fun, family-friendly event that's perfect for all ages!
This is a lap-based race:
The 5K is one lap. Runners will collect their piece of candy as they finish the race.
The Half Marathon is four laps, with runners stopping at the Trick-or-Treat station each lap to collect a piece of candy they’ll carry to the finish.
The Relay is split amongst up to four team members. Teams can choose how they divide the laps—each runner can complete one full lap and tag off, or they can all run one loop together and collect their candy before crossing the finish line!

Southwest. Runners battle mile after mile of soft, energy-sapping sand that shifts underfoot, forcing constant effort with every stride. The route winds across open desert basins, steep canyon climbs, and rugged plateaus, where the dry heat and endless dunes test endurance as much as elevation does. Every step in the sand feels like a reminder that this is a race carved into the raw heart of the land itself.All courses will take you on a unique journey through the desert landscape of southern Utah before you finish back in Kanab. Throughout the course, you will trek by geological mesas, buttes and cliffs and enter a series of unique canyons, hollows and valleys.In the 115-mile race, you will also cross the majestic Coral Pink Sand Dunes.Keep an eye out for wildlife and flora along the route including big horn sheep, mule deer, jack rabbits, coyote, prairie dogs, bobcats, desert arachnids, vultures, and unique cacti and desert flowers such as the Indian paintbrush.Course MarkingsCourse
