About the Escalante Canyons Half Marathon
The Escalante Canyons Half Marathon covers the second half of the marathon course, entirely on Utah's Scenic Byway 12 (Route 12), starting a short way west of the Escalante River. The road climbs through slickrock country for the first three miles, then settles into a gradual westward descent with a few short inclines to the finish at Escalante City Park. Course highlights include the S-curve near the start, the Head of the Rocks overlook and the Straight Cliffs backdrop as the course comes into Escalante.
