Bring the entire family along to join in on the festivities by participating in the Deseret News Classic 5k. The run begins at 7:00 at the Wasatch Elementary School Playground, located at 1150 E. South Temple, Salt Lake City, and finishes at Liberty Park where runners will be cheered on by over 100,000 spectators! This event will be chip timed so get your competitive spirit going and prepare to run! For those kids and families who would prefer to walk rather than run, we will doing two start waves, the first for runners and the second for walkers. Everyone will be timed regardless of if you choose to run or walk, and all finishers will receive medals!
Register to participate at www.deseretnewsclassic.com.
Participants will need to park or be dropped off at the start line location by Wasatch Elementary School. There will be shuttle buses at the finish line area lined up along 700 East of Liberty Park to transport runners back to their vehicles at Wasatch Elementary. Due to the state holiday, the parade and the race route closures and traffic, these shuttle buses will take some time to make their rounds so plan accordingly.
Packet Pick-Up – There will be NO race morning bib pick-up! All packets must be picked up at one of these locations:
July 20-22, 11:00 am – 7:00 pm @ Utah Run – 211 E State Rd, American Fork, Utah 84003.
July 23, 12:00 pm – 7 pm @ Salt Lake City Marriott University Park – 480 S. Wakara Way, Salt Lake City, UT 84108
If you register on or after July 20, you will need to wait until the following day after you register to attend packet pick-up as we will not have your bib ready for you! You may pick up packets for someone else if you bring a signed note authorizing you to do so. At packet pickup you will get your race bib with timing chip, shirt and goodie bag. For the Salt Lake location, you may park in the Marriott hotel parking lot, enter through the main entrance and proceed downstairs.
