Utah Valley Marathon to shift Wallsburg start; organizers pledge cleanup and special-event compliance
Summary
Race organizers told the council they will move the Wallsburg start about one mile lower to keep the course under Boston's qualifying elevation limit; race day is June 6, organizers said they will pay a $100 special-event business license and commit to removing race debris and staging logistics.
Representatives of the Utah Valley Marathon told the council they are adjusting the Wellsburg start line to lower the starting elevation so the course remains a Boston qualifier. "I'm the assistant race director," the presenter said, and described moving the start about one mile lower on East Main Canyon Road while keeping the downtown finish; the race date is June 6 (first Saturday in June).
Organizers said they have contacted private landowners for staging (potties, bus turning) and will pay the town's $100 special-event business license for the one‑day event. They committed to post‑race cleanup, early morning departures so runners are out of town by about 8 a.m., and coordination with town staff on timing relative to potential road work.
