Butterfield Canyon Marathon
Butterfield Canyon Marathon is a trail marathon and half marathon held in Herriman, United States, in August. Both races use the same course base at Butterfield Trailhead Regional Park, close to the Kennecott Mine and the Oquirrh Mountains above Salt Lake Valley.
The full marathon covers 26.2 miles and the half marathon 13.1 miles, on the same day with staggered starts. The terrain is mountainous, so elevation change is considerable. Early sections rise over steep, rocky ground, and the reward is a run of fast single-track descending through thick foliage, with views across the surrounding peaks.
The route is marked with pink flags and ribbons, and red flags show wrong turns. Marathon runners begin before sunrise and need a light for the opening stretch.
