About
Run straight toward one of the most iconic landscapes in the American Southwest. The Zion Half Marathon is a point-to-point road race that threads through the gateway communities of Zion National Park, serving up wide-open desert skies, towering red rock scenery, and that “I can’t believe this is real” finish in Springdale, right near the South entrance of the park. Expect a high-energy, destination-race vibe with a smooth, fast-flowing course and unforgettable views from start to finish.

Route information
The Zion Half Marathon begins on Kolob Terrace Rd in the small town of Virgin, Utah. Almost immediately after the start, runners hang a left onto a partially closed SR-9 and follow it eastward as it winds and climbs uphill along the curves of the Virgin River through small but unique towns.
As the miles tick by, the scenery gets bigger and bolder—opening up to increasingly stunning views of Zion’s famous sandstone cliffs and surrounding landscapes.
There are only two major turns on the course: one near the beginning and one at the end. Otherwise, runners stay on the main road or the paved trail and bike path that runs parallel to SR-9 all the way into Springdale. Just after mile 13, runners turn right into the entrance of Cable Mountain Lodge.
The finish line is in Springdale in front of Cable Mountain Lodge, near the South entrance of Zion National Park.
