About the Antelope Island Marathon - 26.2 - 13.1 - 10K - 5K
All four distances share the same start and finish at the marina on Antelope Island, with each course turning around at its midpoint and retracing the route back. The roads are paved, and the terrain rolls rather than runs flat, with real climbs mixed in. To the east is the Great Salt Lake; to the west, the island's own ridge rises above you.
Packet pickup runs the evening before the race, with a race-morning option at the marina as a backup, though the morning pickup costs a little extra. The marina start means you can wait in your car until your distance is called, which makes the staging area calmer than most.
