              Logan Marathon Organizing Using New Race Format 

Logan, UT - The Logan City-Top of Utah Marathon, scheduled for September 
19, 2020, will be organized with public health and safety guidelines that 
ought to prove to be an exciting new racing format for years to come.

The Top of Utah Marathon, sold to the Logan Downtown Alliance in 2019, is 
one of the Beehive State's oldest marathons. And in 2019, a new course was 
introduced, which didn't require participants to be transported to the 
starting line by bus and allows runners to arrive and park near the 
start/finish line in Historic Downtown Logan.  

NEW for 2020, runners will be staged and organized into three physically 
spaced running chutes, starting groups of 3 runners every 5 seconds. Each 
runner's time or clock will begin when his or her group starts.

Also, to provide the safest running experience, participants will be 
provided face masks during race packet collection and prior to the start of 
the race, and the marathon will be limited to 200 runners, with the 20K, 
10K, and 5K limited to 100 runners respectively to better manage the health 
and safety of runners and spectators.

The Support and Hydration stations will also take on a new look, with 
prepackaged single serving hydration and nutrition. Restrooms will be 
sanitized after each use and medical provided by Logan Regional Hospital 
trained staff.

The Logan City-Top of Utah Marathon is dedicated to promoting active 
lifestyles in a healthy and safe environment.
