The 37th annual St. George Marathon takes off on October 4th and is set to be the largest race in its history. In 2008 the marathon cap was set higher than ever before at 7,000 runners. With nearly 10,000 applicants, thousands of disappointed runners are unable to participate in this highly prominent event. Lucky are those 7,000 who will wake up early the morning of Oct. 4, lace up their running shoes and experience 26.2 miles of exquisite landscape, extraordinary community support and overall sheer accomplishment.  This race passes many Utah Homes that have been featured in the Parade of Homes.

    The St. George Marathon experience starts Friday morning Oct. 3, at the NordicTrack Health and Fitness EXPO held at the Dixie Convention Center from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. The EXPO will consist of nearly 70 vendors, Runner Packet distribution, marathon information, and multiple prize giveaways. There will be various clinics being heldthroughout the day including a first timer’s clinic, a Clif Bar Pace Team clinic and a special guest speaker Rod Dixon. An all-you-can-eat pasta dinner will be served from 4:00-8:00 for all paying customers.  St. George is a great place to visit  and vacation with its ever present beauty and scenic Utah Real Estate settings.

   The St. George race itself will begin with bus loading at 4:00 a.m. The last bus will leave at 5:40 a.m. Hand cycle and wheelchair participants will start their journey at exactly 6:40 with runners following closely behind when the gun goes off at 6:45.
