About Property:
The Salt Lake City Marathon is an annual marathon foot-race run entirely within Salt Lake City, Utah. The marathon was first organized in 2004 by Devine Racing, a Chicago-based race organization company. In 2005, a bike tour was added. In 2006, a half-marathon was added, and the date of the race was moved from April to June. In 2007, the date was moved back to April. As of 2009 the event attracted nearly 9,000 participants, including all of the different distances. Prior to the 2009 event, reports surfaced that the winners from the 2008 race had not been paid their prize winnings.[1][2][3] Devine Racing reportedly made those payments prior to the 2009 race commencing. In February of 2012, the Salt Lake City Marathon was purchased from Devine by US Road Sports & Entertainment Group. The 2012 event saw "no major flaws" and plentiful water, toilets, and medical aid stations.[4]
