As the name suggests, the 3 State Marathon is known for a course that crosses three state borders.

It is held in Mesquite, NV, where Nevada, Arizona, and Utah meet around the Virgin River watershed;

it was also previously referred to as the "Tri-State Marathon." The organizer,

On Hill Events, runs multi-distance events in the same format across different locations,

such as the So Cal River Marathon and Antelope Island Marathon, with the common "area name + Marathon 26.2/13.1/10K/5K" structure.

This race is also held in the same format (full marathon, half marathon, 10K, and 5K).

However, details such as entry fees, exact start times, bib pickup,

and cutoffs could not be verified from the official website or search results,

so before registering you should check the latest information directly on the official site or the RunSignUp registration page.

Times are local to Mesquite. Check the latest official information before the race.
