About the Utah Santa Run - Gardner Village
The course runs out and back along the Jordan River Trail, dipping below grade and crossing the river before turning back toward Gardner Village. The terrain is flat the whole way. Aid stations are staffed by volunteers dressed as elves and stocked with milk and cookies alongside the usual water and sports drink.
Packet pickup is the evening before at the Gardner Village Water Tower. Race-morning pickup is available at the east parking lot, though a small fee applies. All distances start from that same parking lot, and the awards ceremony follows shortly after the last runners come in.
