Training Program

As a fundraising member of our Huntsman Hero team for the Salt Lake City Marathon, you get exclusive access to our coach-led training program. Our coaches create personalized schedules and map out local routes so you feel confident and ready for race day. While attending in-person training sessions is optional, we’d love to see you there! Even if you can’t make it or you are out of the local area, you can still connect with our coaches for guidance and support.

When you register, you have the option to opt in to receive our Thursday training emails, which include information about local Saturday training runs, training and fundraising tips, inspiring stories, and more.

From November through May, our running team meets on Saturday mornings to train together. Multiple coaches are available to guide you, routes are clearly marked, and as distances increase, aid stations staffed by cheerful volunteers keep you fueled and motivated.

All are welcome at our in-person training sessions through the end of December, whether or not you are registered for a 2026 event. Starting in January, you must be registered and fundraising as a Huntsman Hero member for a 2026 event to participate.

Our team welcomes runners of all levels. Whether you’re a seasoned marathoner, have only run a few 5Ks, are new to running, or prefer to walk, there’s a place for you here. Our focus is on enjoying the journey, finishing healthy and strong, and making a difference for those affected by cancer.
