Race Information
The 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 runners 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. Runners will have the roads and trails to themselves in the Cedar Half. On race day, Cedar Canyon is closed to all vehicles, aand at the mouth of Cedar Canyon all runners will transition onto Cedar's magnificent trail system all the way to the finish line.
