The 17th annual running of the Cedar City Half Marathon down Cedar Canyon will feature plenty of pleasant surprises and one of the most spectacular downhill closed-canyon runs ever. Whether it's the sound of Coal Creek, breathtaking views, enthusiastic aid station volunteers, or energy-pumping music with crowds urging you to finish strong—the focus of the "Cedar Half" has always been on a quality runner experience over quantity. It's rare to run a half marathon or a canyon without worrying about traffic. You'll have the roads and trails to yourself in the Cedar Half. On race day, Cedar Canyon is closed to all vehicles, and at the mouth of Cedar Canyon all runners will transition onto Cedar's magnificent trail system all the way to the finish line.

Join us for a beautiful morning on the trails! This group run is open to all runners, whether you're new to trail running or a seasoned runner. We'll have two distance options available: 5 miles or 10 miles on an out and back route - choose the one that works best for you! Meet us at the Broken Mesa Rim Trailhead at 7 am on September 13th! Questions? Feel free to call our shop or message us via Instagram and we'd love to help you out! See you then!
