Start lines

Finish line

• NO glass/breakable items, prescription medication, car keys, wallets, items of value, etc. should be placed in drop bags. Although we make every attempt to get your personal belongings back to you safely, the Ogden Marathon is not responsible for lost or stolen items.
• There is no clothing drop at the 5K start line or Relay Exchange points.
• Clothing/items left on busses or dropped anywhere on course (including at water stations) WILL NOT be returned to the finish line. All items dropped along the course will be donated to local non-profits in the Greater Ogden area.

• Please make sure you use the designated runner’s drop bag with your bib # clearly marked on it for ease of retrieval at the finish line. Please do not ask aid station volunteers to transport items to the finish line for you.

There will be a variety of flavors available including Chocolate Outrage, Salted Caramel, Vanilla Bean, and Tri-Berry.

The Marathon's beautiful course starts at an elevation of 5423 ft. The five legs of the relay will take your team by open roads, green fields, a beautiful gushing river, through Ogden Canyon with breathtaking views of pine covered slopes changing into steep rock faces, with a view of quaint homes nestled along the river's edge. The course ends downtown on Historic 25th street at an elevation of 4,308 Feet.

RELAY Format BREAKDOWN

• Relay Teams may have 2 to 5 participants
• Each participant must complete their own registration to join a team
• Teams will compete in one of four divisions; Men's, Women's & Mixed Gender
• The team captain will pay for the entire team to secure their spot and will pick up the whole team's packet at the Expo. Only the team captain's ID is required. Pick up for the entire team only. No single pickups.
• Relay Legs are not pre-assigned. Work with your teammates to figure out which leg(s) participants want to run, and then ensure those runners board th proper bus for those leg(s), as denoted below.
• If a single runner is running more than one leg, that runner needs to run successive legs, meaning if you're running leg 2, and want to run another one, it should be leg 3 as there is no transportation provided to get runners further down the course to another relay leg.
• Teammates will pass a timing chip bracelet from the first leg to the next. The timing chip is a velcro band that you can adhere to your body ( wrist, ankles, etc ) or clothing ( running vest, armband, etc. ). The timing chip band must be carried by the person running the current pre- designated leg.
• Once you have finished your leg you may continue to run the next leg(s) with your teammate(s) if you wish to continue or there will be a bus waiting for you at the exchange points. Busses will wait for a good amount of relay folks to finish that leg, and then transport the group to the finish line.

WHAT IS THE CORPORATE CUP TRAVELING TROPHY?

The Corporate Cup Traveling Trophy is a Relay Team challenge open to businesses and organizations competing in any division (Male, Female, or Mixed Teams.) If you would like to be included in this challenge, please make sure your Team Captain registered in the Corporate Cup Relay Team category. Your team captain may change to this category in their participant portal up to the transfer deadline.

Ogden Marathon is proud to host duo teams for the marathon and half marathon distances, consisting of a non-ambulatory athlete pushed by an ambulatory runner in a specialized racing wheelchair. Wheelchairs must have a breaking mechanism accessible to both the athlete and the runner. To provide a safe experience for all participants, each race has a capacity of five Duo Teams.

The Duo Team program is non-competitive, and there are no separate award categories. Because the Duo Team Program is a separate event group, the duo runner and duo rider are not ranked among the Open field and are not eligible for an age group award.

Registration

One participant of a Duo Team will complete the initial registration in the duo team category for their preferred distance (half or full marathon). They will receive instructions on how to invite their team mate in the registration confirmation email (or see below*). Both team members must have completed registration to be eligible to race.

1. Log in to your Ogden Marathon account and choose your team captain account.
2. Invite your team member through either the Invite People form or send your members your unique team registration link.
3. In the Settings tab, create a name for your duo team. This must be the full name of both participants as this is the name that will be used for placement ranking.
4. Click the Open Team Page button to share your team's page with your team members.
