Jordan River Half Marathon
Jordan River Parkway Trail is a stunning 40 mile long trail. We have chosen some of the best miles to run on! You will run along this beautiful river for 13.1 miles taking in all of the great views it has to offer. Wetlands, parks, golf courses, ponds, bridges, this course has it all!
