USAT Willard Bay Triathlon - June 4, 2011

The Willard Bay Triathlon is speedily approaching. The Willard Bay Triathlon will be the first open water swim of the season for us and one of the first in the State of Utah. As a Gold Medal Racing Championship series this race adds many extras to it. From race day unique swim caps to technical shirts there are many additional amenities to our Gold Medal Racing Championship Series. The course is beautiful. The swim is out and back on along a dike so those of you who are Aquaphobic (affraid of swimming, not actual definition) can swim to the dike and hold on if you do not feel you will finish. The Bike is a loop around a small rural town called Plain City. The Run is our favorite. This run is an out and back on the dike so the lake is always on your shoulder. We still have plenty of positions still available. Registration is at http://www.willardbaytriathlon.com

Legacy Midnight Run - Half Marathon, 10K, 5K

July 15, 2011 "Run at Night with Glow Sticks"

The Legacy Midnight Run is looking to become one of the biggest races in the On Hill Events Series of races. Currently it has the second largest registrations of all our races up to today's date. This is going to be a bused out start for the Half so do not wait to the day prior to register, because we have to order the buses weeks in advance.

Layton Marathon - Updates & Hotel Offers

If you ran the Layton Marathon last year you are aware that it is the flattest course in the State of Utah. With only 200 feet of elevation change through the entire course it qualifies to be the only course in Utah to qualify you for the Olympics and for the World Records. This has become more apparant a few weeks ago when the new record holder in Boston did not have it qualify him for a World Record. An update we have done with the course is to change the location of the runners circle. It will now be on an area with no transition of elevation between the finish line and the runners circle. Hopefully that helps!!!

Also our host hotel for the Layton Marathon, The Courtyard by Marriott, in Layton is hosting the Expo. Already this year we have a much larger expo than the inaugural year. The Courtyard by Marriott is providing a free runners breakfast and shuttle service to the start of the race on race morning to anyone staying with them. We are confident that their hotel will sell out the night prior with this offering. We have used this property first hand and we strongly recommend the hot tub after the race. Marathon Special only $80 per night.
