Utah Gossip

Now that the weather is FINALLY getting warmer, it is common to see people just running down the street. I assume it is for exercise, but who knows (I recently saw a guy running down the street barefoot–for no apparent reason). And with so many health-savvy people around, it is no wonder why Utah has so many marathons going on across the state this summer. For most people’s summer activities will consist of Utah parks and recreation; but why not add a little more? A little more running? Here are a few of the many races and marathons taking place:

Midnight Moon Run:
On July 15, 2008 in Sandy, Utah (Alta Canyon Sports Center) the race will begin at–go figure–midnight.

Mountain Challenge:
With a choice of a 5k or a 10k, Park City will be the place to be on July 12,2008.

Speedy Spaniard Road Race:
The name alone makes me want to run. Honestly, who wouldn’t want to be considered a speedy Spaniard? On July 24th, this race will be held in Spanish Fork.

Blacksmith Fork Freedom Run:
A downhill (yes! Downhill!) 15k race set for July 4th.
