The marathon is expected to attract thousands of participants and spectators, potentially causing increased traffic and limited parking in downtown Ogden. The event's high elevation start and net downhill course may pose challenges for runners unaccustomed to such conditions. Additionally, temperatures at the start line are forecasted to be in the 35–45°F (2–7°C) range, warming to 50–60°F (10–16°C) by the finish, which could impact hydration and performance. Local businesses near the finish line on Historic 25th Street are likely to see increased foot traffic.
