Each marathon and half marathon participant will receive a finisher medallion at the conclusion of their run. Fun interactive exhibits for adults and children, as well as great food and great music will all be part of the festivities to help celebrate and cheer on the athletes.

Scoring / Timing

The Salt Lake City Marathon, Half Marathon & 5K has selected the ChampionChip system for the scoring and timing of both the Marathon, Half Marathon & 5K for this year’s event.

ChampionChip utilizes a computerized timing system that records each runner's actual running time. Chip timing starts when participants cross the starting line mat and stops at the finish line. Your finish time is calculated precisely when you cross the finish line mat. Salt Lake City Marathon provides chip timing as a service to all our participants. Cash prizes are awarded based on gun time.  Division winners are based on chip time.

All participants must pick up their ChampionChip, along with their bib number at the Quality of Life Expo on Thursday, April 17th and Friday, April 18th.  If you own a ChampionChip (yellow) and would like to use it for one of our events, please bring it with you to packet pickup.  There will be a registration services desk at the expo where you can return the rental ChampionChip (black) and register your personal ChampionChip (yellow).

All ChampionChips must be surrendered at the finish line. Failure to return the timing chip will result in a $20 replacement fee. If you do not wear your chip, you will not be timed. For more information about how ChampionChip timing works, visit www.championchip.com.
