Course Description - Marathon Boston Qualifier

The Sun Marathon has four distances. Full Marathon, Half Marathon, 10K and 5K. 

This race purpose is to get runners out of the cold and into the warmth of Southern Utah in the St. George/Santa Clara Area. Though the courses are primarily downhill over the distance there are some rollers and a few climbs. The views during this race are great with huge red rock mountains all around to views of Gunlock Reservoir during the Marathon and a nice river along the Full and Half Marathons. Full and Half Marathons are bused out starts and 10K and 5K are both on the same route as the Marathon but start at the finish line and do an out and back route, going reverse course on way out and coming back the correct way.  This has a net 2500 feet of decline but note there are some hills throughout the race. 

Half Marathon Course - This picks up half way down the Full Marathon route near Gunlock Reservoir. Buses drop off then run to the finish line. Mostly download but some climbs along the route. Views of Red Mountain to the East. 

10K route is out and back Starting and finishing at Gubler Park in Santa Clara. 

5K Course is out and back on the same route as the Full Marathon and finishes at the Full Marathon finish location
