Women's Epic Road Half Marathon & 10k

Women's Epic Road Half Marathon & 10k is run in Ogden, Utah, on October 24, 2026, with the half marathon (13.1 miles) and the 10K both starting at 7 a.m. The race begins and ends at the Weber State University football stadium, and the course rolls through hills and fast descents with views of the Wasatch mountains and the Ogden River Parkway. Elevation change is significant in both directions, and the finish comes inside the stadium, broadcast live with spectators cheering. A finish-line village with vendors, music and festivities closes out the day.

Courses with real descent reward quad strength more than raw fitness, so include downhill running in your build or your last three miles will hurt in a way training never did. Roughly 12 to 14 weeks with a weekly long run on rolling terrain is the right preparation. The 10K is the option if you want to race hard on the same route without the accumulated pounding.
