RECOMMENDATION:
Authorize the Executive Director to execute a Special Event Agreement with High Altitude Special Events (HASE) for the Salt Lake City Marathon in the amount of $14,541.
BACKGROUND:
UTA and High Altitude Special Events (HASE) have historically worked together to provide transit access to and from its event, the Salt Lake City Marathon (Marathon). HASE partnered with UTA to pay for the transit fare for Marathon participants/runners. Runner’s bibs, race shirts, and volunteer shirts were accepted as valid fare to ride transit on the day of the event. This is considered by UTA to be “Ticket-as-Fare.”
In addition to Ticket-as-Fare, HASE partnered with UTA for additional UTA Police Officer support to ensure participant safety throughout the event and at specific grade crossings along the marathon route.
Both parties desire to continue this partnership for the 2026 Marathon.
DISCUSSION:
The Marathon will take place on Saturday, April 25, 2026. UTA will partner with HASE to provide Ticket-as-Fare. Marathon runners may use their race bib to ride UTA services on the day of the event. The value of this agreement is $14,541.
