The Marathon is a point-to-point race which begins in the majestic Pine Valley Mountains and descends nearly 2,600 feet through scenic Southwest Utah to Worthen Park in St. George. This USA Track and Field certified ad sanctioned race is listed by Runner's World as the fastest Fall marathon, and one of the 10 most scenic marathons in the United States.

Post-Race Review/ Results

First the first time in 25 years, the St. George Marathon had to start in rain and a soggy course. Southern Utah University runner Mark Currell broke away from the pack at about seven miles to cruise to the five-minute margin of victory over former BYU runner Nick McCombs in 2 hours, 28 minutes, 40 seconds.  Christina Gingras, who ran nearly 6 minutes faster than her race last year, won the women's marathon in 2 hours 49 minutes and 50 seconds.
