What you should know
- Marathon starts up Provo Canyon around 6am — buses leave downtown early and there is no race-morning packet pickup.
- Course begins near 1700m elevation and drops ~330m; pace conservatively early to protect quads for the flat final 10K.
- Aid stations sit roughly every 2 miles with water and electrolyte; dry canyon air means drink before you feel thirsty.
- Marathon cutoff is 6 hours (~13:45/mile); slower runners may be moved to the sidewalk as roads reopen.
- Headphones are discouraged on the canyon road — listen for vehicles and marshals at canyon-exit intersections.
