What you should know
- Salt Lake City sits at ~1,300m elevation — pace conservatively early and hydrate more than you would at sea level.
- Bib and chip pickup is at the pre-race expo; race-morning pickup is generally not offered, so plan ahead.
- The course features a net downhill with rolling sections — quad-loading is real, so don't blast the early miles.
- Aid stations carry water and electrolyte; bring your own gels as on-course fuel selection may be limited.
- Spring weather swings from frost to sun — check the forecast 24h out and dress for the start-line temperature.
