Race Info
The Cedar City Half Marathon runs down Cedar Canyon for its 17th year in 2026, one of the steepest closed-canyon courses in the country. The point-to-point route starts near Wood Ranch at about 8,400 feet and drops roughly 2,800 feet to the finish at Bicentennial Park Soccer Fields. Cedar Canyon closes to vehicle traffic for the race, and runners follow Coal Creek before joining Cedar City's trail system through Canyon Park for the final miles. An Adventure 5K runs alongside the half marathon the same morning. Source
