Lace up your shoes for the final, exhilarating leg of the Winter Running Series, a half marathon event set to take place on April 4, 2026, in scenic Ogden, UT. This 13.1-mile race, starting and ending at Eden Park, serves as the perfect capstone to your winter training, specifically designed to prepare runners for the Ogden Marathon or other spring races. You'll join a vibrant community of 500-600 annual participants, all embracing the challenge and camaraderie that the GOAL Foundation's series is renowned for.

Runners consistently praise the Winter Running Series for its exceptional organization, enthusiastic volunteers, and supportive atmosphere, with many highlighting its potential for achieving personal records. While specific course elevation details for this particular half marathon are best confirmed directly with the organizers, the associated Ogden Marathon is celebrated for its beautiful canyon views and a course featuring significant smooth elevation loss after an initial few hills, encouraging strong finishes. On race day, expect typical spring conditions with highs around 57°F and lows around 36°F, and only an 11% chance of precipitation, offering pleasant running weather.

Beyond the well-supported course featuring frequent aid stations, you'll find ample hydration and fuel awaiting at the start and finish lines, including water, Gatorade, Daily Rise coffee, hot cocoa, salty snacks, and fruit. Every finisher earns a commemorative medal, and those who complete the entire series receive an additional fifth medal, along with a super-soft long-sleeve tee. With professional timing and no official cutoff time, supporting an average pace of 20 minutes per mile, this event ensures everyone can cross the finish line feeling accomplished.
