Salt Lake City Marathon is a cornerstone of Utah's running events and was recognized by Salt Lake City Weekly as the best running event in Utah. Run through Salt Lake City’s iconic landmarks while surrounded by the towering Wasatch Mountains. Finish victoriously and celebrate with friends and family at the historic city hall building.
For 17 years, the Huntsman Heroes running team has partnered with Salt Lake City Marathon to raise funds for research at Huntsman Cancer Institute. Over the years, this partnership has helped to raise over $1,400,000 for cancer research, and 100% of all funds raised through the Huntsman Heroes team go to fund life-saving research.

Train with us!
As a fundraising Huntsman Hero, you receive access to our running and cycling training programs. Coaches create a schedule and map out weekly training routes to make sure you are confident and ready for event day. Keep in mind, you don't have to attend the training runs or rides to be part of the team, but we'd love for you to be there! You can still be part of the team and communicate with the coaches if it's tough for you to make it to the local training sessions.
Note: Huntsman Hero training programs are available to registered event participants who commit to fundraising $500 ($250 for Kids K, 5K, and 10K events) or more.

As a member of the Huntsman Heroes team, you agree to raise a minimum amount for certain events and distances. Don't worry, fundraising is easier than it seems! We have lots of tips and tools to help you go above and beyond your fundraising goal in our Fundraising Toolkit.

Once you raise the $500, you will receive a Huntsman Heroes team jersey, and for anyone who goes above and beyond by raising more than $1,000 will receive a Huntsman Heroes team jacket at the end of the year.
