About the Utah Human Race
This Thanksgiving morning race in Sandy raises money for a food bank, and that mission shapes who shows up. Costumes are common, families run together, and the pace across the field varies widely. The course runs through Sandy, and the organizers are clear that cold, snow, or wind will not cancel it.
Packet pickup runs through the week before the race at the food bank's west wing facility in Salt Lake City, with extended hours in the final days. There is no race-day pickup, so planning ahead matters. The address is on the food bank's campus, and bringing participant names speeds things along if you are collecting bibs for a group.
