Drop13 Big Cottonwood Canyon Half Marathon & 5K

About the Event

Considered by many the fastest Half Marathon in Utah. The Drop13 Big Cottonwood Canyon starts at Solitude Ski Resort and runs over 3000 feet down 13.1 miles to Cottonwood Heights City. This race is not only fast but it is beautiful with views of the Spring run off in a roaring river and all the trees and plants are in full green color. This race not only has all these features but it also gives racers 4" finisher medals. Those that PR their half marathon with us get a PR (Personal Record) medal and those that lose 13lbs in the training and running of this race will also get a Drop13lbs medal (Based on Honor System). Many racers go home with up to four medals if you include Age Group winners.
