Revolution Run - New Years Day Morning

Revolution Run - New Years Day Morning is held at the Olympic Oval in Kearns, outside Salt Lake City, Utah, on January 1, 2027. The marathon (26.2 miles) and a five-hour timed event start at 8:00 a.m., the half marathon (13.1 miles) at 8:30, the 10K at 9:00 and the 5K at 9:30. The format is lap-based: you either cover the most laps in the time allowed or run your chosen distance as fast as you can, inside a four-hour limit.

A lap course strips out the variables — no navigation, the same surface every time around — so the marathon here becomes a pacing exercise above all, and the four-hour cap is worth checking against a realistic finish time before you enter. A 16-week build with a weekly long run is the standard preparation for 26.2 miles. If lapping the same track for hours sounds like your kind of problem rather than your idea of purgatory, the five-hour event is the one to pick.
