Cedar City Half Marathon - Cedar City, Utah - Running

Runners will transition from Highway 14 to the Coal Creek Trail System running along the creek and going under quaint road bridges to the finish line at Bicentennial Soccer Fields.

Before the race begins at Woods Ranch, there will be a truck that runners can place their CCHM Bags and other belongings into and they will be laid out north of the finish line refreshment tent. Please write your name and phone number on your bag. Please to not place anything in bags that you couldn't afford to not have when you arrive (keys, cellphones, wallets, etc.).
