Race NEBO down beautiful Payson Canyon — a hidden gem often overlooked. Come and experience a breathtaking course. This race might just become your favorite.
MARATHONERS:
A true canyon marathon with 25 miles of the race in Payson Canyon! You won’t find a more beautiful race. The staggering 4,561’ elevation drop will provide panoramic views of Mount Nebo, the Utah Valley, and Utah Lake far below. There are a few hills in the first half of the course, however, the last 16 miles are completely downhill, which makes this a super fast course!
PLUS — Wanna earn that BQ to run in both the 2026 AND 2027 races!?
The race is timed perfectly just one week before the Boston Marathon qualifying window closes for the 2026 race, and also the beginning of the qualifying period for 2027!
1 BQ time at NEBO to register for 2 Boston Marathons!
Earn that NEBO medal…and maybe even a coveted unicorn one in the next two years!
