#likenoother — for Michelle Graves, it’s more than a hashtag. It’s a standard. A mindset. A promise.

As Race Director of the St. George Marathon, Michelle carries that mantra into every detail—shaping an experience in Southern Utah that stands shoulder to shoulder with the best marathons in the world.

But what actually makes St. George #likenoother?

Is it the seamless execution by the St. George City Parks & Recreation team?
The rich history woven into every mile of the course?
The thousands of volunteers—families who show up year after year to lift runners when they need it most?
Is it the magic of the start… the emotion of the finish…

Or is it something harder to define—something you can only feel when you’re there?

In this episode, Colleen sits down with Michelle to uncover what makes this race so special—and to celebrate 50 years of a marathon that continues to leave its mark on everyone who runs it.

2026 Registration opens April 1st @ 6a MT
