Prepare for an exhilarating journey at the Women's Epic Road Half Marathon & 10k, returning to Ogden, Utah, on October 24, 2026. This event, known for its high-energy celebration of female empowerment and athleticism, offers both a challenging 13.1-mile half marathon and a scenic 6.2-mile 10k. Runners will experience a unique road loop course that starts and finishes inside the iconic Weber State University's Football Stadium. You can anticipate typical race day conditions with highs around 59F and lows around 38F, and a low 6% chance of precipitation, providing ideal fall running weather.

The courses are meticulously designed to showcase the stunning natural beauty of the Rocky Mountains. Half marathoners will navigate a mix of rolling hills and exhilarating fast descents, including a tough climb on the Ogden bench and sweeping views of the Wasatch Mountains and Ogden River Parkway, totaling nearly 800 feet of elevation gain and loss. The 10k course provides a more approachable experience with manageable hills and approximately 400 feet of elevation change. Both distances promise vibrant fall colors and open vistas, leading to an unforgettable stadium finish where your final strides are broadcast live on the Jumbotron, with spectators cheering from the stands. Aid stations for the half marathon are strategically placed approximately every two miles, offering water, electrolytes from Clean Simple Eats' Hydrate, and Cranksports E-Gel at later stations, along with portable toilets to ensure comprehensive runner support.

What truly sets the Women's Epic apart is its "badass community of women" and an atmosphere unmatched by other races. This event cultivates an incredibly supportive and inspiring environment for all skill levels, from first-timers to seasoned athletes. Beyond the race itself, participants rave about the top-notch support, generous swag bags, and an epic finish line party featuring a vendor village, music, and festivities. Every runner receives an official race bib, a Women's Epic T-shirt, a commemorative pendant necklace at the finish line, and access to a post-race festival, making it more than just a race—it’s an unforgettable experience and a triumph worth celebrating.
