Frequently Asked Questions
I see 6 races listed. Do I need to run in all 6 races?
Nope. You need to complete 4 of the 6 races listed to officially complete the Run the Slam series.
Is there a benefit to running in all of the races?
Yeah. To thank you for your support of these quality Utah Half Marathons, we will reduce your overall time by 2 minutes if you complete 5 of the races.
In addition, we will take 4 of your best time from the races to comprise your overall Slam time.
Does the $50 registration cost cover the costs of all 4 races?
No. The $50 registration fee for Run the Slam is separate from the individual race costs. You will need to sign up for and pay for each race independently.
What does my $50 registration cost for Run the Slam get me?
- You compare your cumulative times across 4 races with 150 other crazy participants.
- Unique medals for every race you run
- A Run the Slam finishers tee-shirt and window sticker
- $5 off 5 of the 6 races
It takes a lot of man power to organize an event like this. Some of the money goes towards administrative support. Run the Slam also makes a charitable donation to the Thanksgiving Point Foundation.
What if I can't run in 4 of the 6 approved races?
In order to receive all 4 parts of the Run the Slam 2012 medal, you will need to run in at least 4 races. You can run in one of the alternate Utah Half Marathons listed below, but you will be ineligible to receive a division winner medal. You will still receive medals for each race you complete, and get a cool t-shirt.
What if I have already signed up for some of the races?
You can still be an eligible participant in Run the Slam. You will just use the registration code for the other races.
What if I want to run a full marathon? Can it still count for Run the Slam?
Absolutely! We will just take your full marathon time and cut it in half.
