Last week, the Utah Valley Marathon
reached out to me and offered me a couple free race entries and
discount codes for my lucky readers!
Utah is definitely on me and Paul's “to
visit” list, but we already made summer vacation plans. But my loss
is your gain! Hopefully you can take advantage of one of the free race entries or discount codes!
**Note: I do get a very small kickback if you use the discount code, but that is not my motivation for sharing this deal with you. I am just hoping that there are people who plan to run this race that can get one of the free entries or a bit of a discount**
As I searched the race website, I realized this race has something for everyone! Not only is there a marathon distance, but also a half and 10k.
The race starts in Provo Canyon. Google Image Provo Canyon. I dare you! It's just an hour from Salt Lake City.
The Utah Valley Marathon was named a TOP 10 race in America by Runner’s World Magazine in 2014. Because this is the 10 year anniversary, they are giving out a nice race jacket instead of a shirt. The course is a super fast downhill, which could be perfect for a BQ. And if you're into bling, the race medals are very large.

Don't forget to comment if you want one of the free entries!
Also, feel free to share this info with anyone you know who lives in Utah and may want to run this race!

Have you ever been to Utah?
Are you running Utah Valley?
We were also contacted about a free race entry and about giving some away as well but I know so many other bloggers who are giving it away and it didn't seem to be a race that people are lining up to run so we didn't bother mentioning it...lol. However, if you end up having more than 2 readers that are interested, let me know and I'll give you our code to share as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks girl!
DeleteI won't be able to do this race this year but it does sound like a good one, We are already traveling to Cleveland for a race in May, and cant justify traveling that far for anything less than a marathon. I do want to visit Utah one day though!
ReplyDeleteIt would have been perfect if we decided to vacation there this summer, but it is Paul's choice and he chose NoCal, which I am super excited for! I really wish I lived more in the center of the country. It would be cheaper to fly places!
DeleteI would love a free entry! I think you and Paul would love Utah -- beautiful mountains with lots of hiking.
ReplyDeleteYAY! Okay, one free entry is yours! I can email you the code if you give me your email address. You can either leave it here in a comment, or if you would rather not have it public and just email me- runningmeg82@yahoo.com I will give to you today!
DeleteWe definitely hope to make it to Utah at some point! It is such a big state with so much to see!
Thanks, Meg! I'll send you an email now. And if you can't find a person to take the second entry, my husband would love to run it.
DeleteI so wanted to do this one--they promised me I could get an entry next year.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome!
DeleteLooks like a gorgeous run! Too bad I'll be at a wedding on June 10!
ReplyDeleteNuts!
DeleteThey contacted me too! I'd love to go there but the flights were like $800 each. BOOOO.
ReplyDeleteI know! If they offered me free airfare I would definitely do it! :)
DeleteWow Meg I would love to run this race. I started running at the beginning of last year and I have gained up the courage, and stupidity, to attempt a full marathon. I have been told this one is the best marathon race in the state! I hope to win this so I can do my first full marathon. Thanks
ReplyDeleteYAY! Entry #2 is yours!!!!!! I can email you the code if you give me your email address. You can either leave it here in a comment, or if you would rather not have it public and just email me- runningmeg82@yahoo.com I will give to you today! Your first marathon? That is so exciting!
DeleteOh wow, what a great giveaway! That totally beats that book I was going to give away soon :( The race looks pretty awesome. A jacket is nice race bling too. Flights to Utah are always more for our airport than Colorado.. that's why we always ski in Colorado!
ReplyDeleteBooks are good giveaways too! I gave away my Hansons book this fall. Someone wanted it and it only cost me like 3 bucks to ship it so why not? I am sure people will want your book!
DeleteLooks like both the entires are gone but if Fairytales and Fitness are happy to give you another one, I'd love to take it of your hands. You guys should definitely plan a trip to Utah!
ReplyDeleteI'll check with her! Hopefully her offer still stands. :)
DeleteI hope the marathon entries find a good home!!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like they did! I am so low budget over here. "Be one of the first two people to comment" hahaha. Hey, the early bird gets the worm!
DeleteNo marathons for me, but if you ever want help with Rafflecopter I'm your girl!! LOL! PS--race organizers contacting YOU?! Hey there, Big Time ;)
ReplyDeleteAfter 4 years I have MADE IT! No actually they have been reaching out to like every running blogger lol. I am just happy a couple people were able to get a free entry! I will hit you up the next time I do a giveaway. Don't you like my low tech solution though?
DeleteI LOVE Utah. So pretty!
ReplyDeleteYou have been there, right??
DeleteI'm no sure if the giveaway is over but I love catching up on your blog but if it's not over I'd love to have a free entry to the marathon!
ReplyDeleteI am sorry but my 2 freebies are gone. If you can't find another giveaway, maybe you can you my 15% off code? MGR15
