Corner Canyon Marathon & Relay
This Relay has 8 sections total with each averaging 3 miles. Teams will have 4 runners, each runner runs 2 sections. Each section varies from rolling, downhill, to climbing. It is up to the team to decide who runs the section!
The Marathon uses the same course making it a beautiful out and back that uses the best trails Corner Canyon has to offer.
Corner Canyon is a favorite to many runners along the Wasatch Front. A vast network of beautiful trails truly make Corner Canyon unique. This same network of trails is what will make this race a great relay. We wanted everybody to be able to experience all that Corner Canyon has to offer and we feel this is the way to do it. This relay uses almost every trail Corner Canyon has to offer, our personal favorites are the all new foot traffic only trails, Casper and Phantom! This race will always be held the Saturday before Labor Day weekend.
**CANCELLED**
Corner Canyon Marathon & Relay has been cancelled despite our efforts to ensure social distancing and guidelines set out by the state. Draper City feels it is too risky due to covid 19 and high trail usage. We disagree with this completely but ultimately there is nothing we can do about it that we haven’t already tried. Sorry everyone we did our best!
We also want to do our best at taking care of you and we have come up with the options below in order to do so. Our hope is that you will support us in future races and will remember we always want to put our runners first.
#1. Receive a refund for your registration. We will mail you a check so if your address on Ultrasignup is not correct please let us know. If you are on the waitlist we will simply remove you and your card will not be charged. Not a lot of races are offering a refund like this because the truth is we and all race organizers are losing quite a bit of money on these events being cancelled. We hope this will help create loyal customers who know we put runners first and our biggest concern is offering a quality race and experience. Word of mouth is the best way we will grow so share us with your friends and family!
#2. Credit for any race this year or next. Currently things are looking good for the Jordan River Half Marathon on September 26th (road race) and the Dimple Dell Half Marathon on October 10th (trail race). We will send a code that can be used to register for any race free of fees or cost. Please note that future races may still be cancelled. This pandemic and how each City is handling it is unprecedented and we are in the back seat just holding on trying to stay positive.
#3. Donate your registration to Happy Trails Running. We obviously could use the money to recover lost costs from this virus but don’t let us guilt trip you because we know a lot of people are hurting financially right now due to the economy spraining an ankle. We just hope next year we are back bigger than ever and all of our runners return for some amazing trails!
If you choose option 2 or 3 and are on the waitlist you will need to accept an invite we send out and your card will be charged at that time.
Again just want to apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. I know many of you have been training hard, had travel plans, or just wanted to be able to run during these crazy times. I hope these options are acceptable and you remember us in the future. We want our races to be something runners look forward to every year. Thank you!
