REVEL Big Cottonwood Half Marathon

REVEL Big Cottonwood gives half-marathon runners the downhill side of the Wasatch-to-Salt-Lake race weekend. It suits runners who want a fast road profile, canyon scenery, and a point-to-point morning with a clear 13.1-mile focus.

The half marathon uses a paved, point-to-point route that descends from Big Cottonwood Canyon toward the Salt Lake foothills. Early canyon miles do most of the elevation work, so the course rewards controlled opening splits and steady turnover late.

Mid-September mornings in the canyon can start cool before sun and warmer valley air arrive near the finish. Plan for layers before the start and dry air once the race drops toward Salt Lake City.
