  1. The marathon is in October, not April. There are plenty of triathlons and other races too - check out St. George racing. Also, there is Staheli Family Farm, which is open every october with lots of fall fun, as well as in December for a live nativity.

    1. Thanks for the info! I updated the races but I think the Staheli Family Farm is in Washington so I added it to the bottom of the list.

  4. This is awesome. I've been thinking of getting a condo in St. George, UT for some time now. I've always heard it's a great place to live and from the looks of this list, I'm going to like it there.

  6. Seeing as half of these aren't located in St. George a more accurate title would be 101 things to do in Southern Utah.

  7. It's Sand Hollow, not Hallow (both the reservoir & aquatic center), and Tonaquint, not Tanaquint.

  8. Why is everyone critiquing?, instead of appreciating the effort that went into compiling this list. I say a very big Thank You.TThis makes it much easier to share with family and friends what St George and South West Utah have to offer. Once again. Thank You for your time and effort.
