Travel Overview

Flying
The very closest airports are Page (PGA) and Flagstaff (FLG) but they're small and options are limited. St. George (SGU), Las Vegas (LAS), Phoenix (PHX), and Salt Lake City (SLC) airports are anywhere from 3–6 hours from Page but give you the option to make a side trip into Zion, Grand Canyon, or Bryce Canyon National Parks depending on where you are coming from.

Lodging
Page is full of hotel and camping options near the starting line. (Our favorite is camping right on the beach at Lone Rock). Lake Powell Resorts & Marina is an official sponsor of the Lake Powell Half Marathon.

Rocky mountain and Joshua Tree were the two hardest races I've done, but they were completely worth it! Grand Canyon has so far been my favorite! Beautiful course, spirited people, and amazing staff. Not to mention the race shirts always have great designs! My goal is to complete all NP half marathons. I will be doing Zion, Yosemite, and hopefully Lake Powell next year 2018! Thank you Vaction Races for the fun times and everlasting memories.

What to Expect:
Potential changes you may see at a race during this pandemic

We are confident that we will be able to put on our races in 2021 and 2022, but depending on the state and local guidelines at the time we may have to make some operational changes to the event in order to be compliant. We won't know exactly what these adjustments will look like until we are closer to the event, but here are a few possible changes you can expect to happen to your event.

-EXPO: We are hosting drive-up bib pick-ups at our events this year. Runners will drive up and get their bib, race shirt, hydrapouch and more...without getting our of their car! This will help us minimize groups from congregating and make events safer. Don't worry - our merchandise tent will still be available for those who want to park and shop around.

-START LINE & STAGGERED STARTS: To comply with group size limits, we may need to have staggered starts and/or a rolling start. Rather than starting a couple thousand runners all at once, we may assign start times or leave the start line open for a few hours in order to avoid large groups and thin out the on course crowds.

-AID STATIONS: In some cases aid stations will be set up to allow social distancing and even have "hands free" foot pedals to allow you to refill hydrapouches or water bottles. We may not have fresh cut oranges and bananas.

-SPECTATORS: At some events, spectators will not be invited to cheer for their runner at the finish line.

-SHUTTLES: When shuttles are necessary we will require all riders to wear face masks, buses will not run at full capacity, etc.

**These are only examples of changes that may be implemented at your event. More specific changes will be communicated on a race by race basis within a month before the event.**
