Although OYO races are self-supported and are completed on the terms of each individual runner, they are still certified races that take place on certified courses. As such, OYO takes extreme measures to ensure the integrity of each race. Runners are advised that a zero-tolerance policy will be strictly enforced; cheaters will be disqualified, have their results nullified, and receive a lifetime ban from all OYO races.
OYO Salt Lake is a measured and certified course located along the scenic Jordan River Parkway. The course is on a paved trail that runs parallel to the tranquil Jordan River. Both the OYO course and the Jordan River flow harmoniously through the Salt Lake Valley’s most populated communities.
Despite running through populated areas, the course is non-stop, in that runners will not have to deal with traffic or intersections. There is only one spot on the course (5800 South St) where cars would cross a runner’s path. Traffic is extremely light at this particular intersection, and is not likely to impede a runner’s momentum. Note that only the marathon and half marathon courses cross this location.
Most of the course is easy to follow, but the OYO app will help guide you through particular areas to stay on route. We strongly recommend you get familiar with the course before your OYO race.
It’s important to note that there are no course markings on the OYO route. There will be many non-OYO markings on the course, as it resides on the Jordan River Parkway, which is a public trail. These markings may or may not point you in the right direction. The only way to get proper directions is to use the OYO app as your guide.
