The Ogden Marathon 5k is run over the final 3.1 miles of the marathon course. The race begins on the Ogden River Parkway at the Timbermine restaurant. The course is on the Ogden River Parkway down to Grant Ave. and 18th Street, then the final mile or so runs along Grant Ave. to the Finish Line. The Ogden River Parkway is a paved pathway that parallels the Ogden River through lush trees. As a result, this winding course probably isn't the best place to set your 5k personal record, but it will rank among the most enjoyable 5k runs you'll ever experience. Expect chilly morning winds coming from the canyon.
Start & Finish
The 5K starts at 7:00 a.m. at the Timbermine restaurant on the Ogden River Parkway and finishes on Historic 25th Street.
