21st Annual Ogden Marathon: Autoliv Finish Line Festival

The world-renowned Ogden Marathon is completely sold out, but that doesn’t mean you can’t participate. All are invited for a big downtown party during the race to celebrate and cheer on the runners; volunteering is also a fun way to show your support — and get an attractive, quality T-shirt to boost. The Finish Line Festival will have live music, vendors, a beer garden, and free kids activities for all to enjoy.

Saturday, May 21, 7 a.m.-2 p.m., Ogden Municipal Gardens, Historic 25th Street and Grant Avenue, free, ogdenmarathon.com
