2027 Dogtown Half Marathon

Join the Dogtown Half Marathon on January 30, 2027, for an unforgettable run through scenic Utah landscapes. The half marathon begins just north of Coral Canyon and follows a point-to-point route along Foothills Drive, descending into the picturesque Coral Canyon subdivision before crossing under SR-9 to reach Coral Canyon Blvd. Runners will enjoy stunning views as they navigate paved trails like E. Grasslands Pkwy and the Highland South Loop trail.
The course features an out-and-back stretch on Landfill Rd., leading runners onto a dirt trail that connects to Cottonwood Trail, where a fast descent awaits down to the Virgin River. At mile 11.8, participants turn right toward Sullivan Park’s boardwalk for a final push along the river before crossing the finish line amidst scenic surroundings.
The 10K race starts and finishes at charming Sullivan Park, offering an out-and-back course that highlights the beauty of the Virgin River Trail and Boardwalk. Meanwhile, the 5K event provides runners with a loop around picturesque Sullivan Park, perfect for enjoying the stunning river views in a shorter distance.
For families, don’t miss the Dogtown Kids Fun Run at 10:30 am on race day. This easy course through the Sullivan Virgin River Soccer Park is designed specifically for children aged 12 and under, complete with a fun finish-line celebration including participation medals and race shirts.
