Overview

The Cytiva Top of Utah Marathon in Logan Utah is one of the Beehive State’s oldest and continuous running marathons, celebrating its 28th Year!  The Cytiva Top of Utah Marathon doesn’t require participants to be transported to a distant starting line by bus at 3:30am; rather it allows runners to arrive and park near the start/finish line on or before 7:00am in Historic Downtown Logan.

The Family Place 5K at the Cytiva Top of Utah Marathon
For every 5K registration, $12.50 is donated to The Family Place by the Logan Downtown Alliance.  This year, Cytiva is going even further by contributing an additional $10 per 5K entry, bringing even more support to families in our community. Help The Family Place raise money to strengthen families and protect children by registering today!

Course Description

We look forward to celebrating the beauty of Cache Valley and Downtown Logan’s Historic District during the Cytiva Top of Utah Marathon. Our BQ race course takes you along the Logan River Trail and Logan River Golf Course, on wide-open country roads and through scenic wetland areas, and all in the shadow of the beautiful Cache National Forest and Wellsville Mountain Range. The weather at 7:10am is typically in the 45-55 degrees range, with always a chance of rain.

​Our exciting downtown Logan start and finish is a favorite for elite athletes, runners and spectators. We completely close down the city block from 100 West to Main Street, so everyone can safely arrive, race, mingle and eat afterwards, and return to cars parked closely by. Our urban city route provides an open path through the west-side of Logan and Cache Valley, with a course grade at or near 0.
