Course Info

Layton Marathon - Full Marathon Course USATF Certified

The Layton Marathon is marked to exact measurements by USATF to make it a course that will qualify you for the Boston Marathon. This course measurement is more accurate than GPS measurements based on this USATF certification. It is measured by two pre-calibrated bikes road by ceritified USATF Course Certifiers. After their measurements they reride the bikes to confirm the certified bikes did not lose calibration. If you ran the Layton Marathon and qualified for the Boston Marathon based on your time use the Code: UT10005TLB when you register for the Boston Marathon to attach your qualifying times to your registration.

Course Description

The Layton Marathon is one of the most unique courses in Utah.

Elevation: First the Layton Marathon is the flattest marathon in Utah with only 200 feet of elevation change. This is unique when all other marathons in Utah range from 1100 to 4300ft of downhill. It is funny how many marathons act as though running a marathon with extreme downhill is a good thing. I have known many first time marathoners that destroyed their knees on races with 3000 ft of downhill. Sometimes other courses can be faster but the Layton Marathon is proud of our times that are comparable to most marathons four to ten times its size in participation. Downhill does not always mean speed. Flat is also one of the fastest recovery times.
 

Half Marathon Course

The Half Marathon Course starts near the marina on the causeway of the Great Salt Lake and runs the last 13.1 miles of the Layton Marathon. Aid stations are every 2 miles starting at mile 1.9.

10K/5K Course

 

The 10K/5K starts and finish at the finish of the Layton Marathon and is out and back. It is a residential course and flat. Aid stations for 10K are at Mile 1.2, 3.1, 4.3. Aid station for 5K are at Mile 1.2 and 1.9.
