Half Marathon

This race starts off in the heart of Highland City at Mitchell Hollow Park. Beautiful park with great Fall colors and amazing views of Mount Timpanogos. You will set out on the Murdock Canal Trail until you reach your first aid station after 4 miles. Those first 4 miles offer incredible views of the Wasatch Front mountains.

​

Shortly after reaching the first aid station you will cross a huge pedestrian bridge that spans the entire Timpanogos Highway. This grants you access to the Utah Rail Trail. Run through a beautiful city setting for the next two miles to the turn around aid station at Shadow Ridge Park.

​

Due to the colder weather this time of year we do not feel we need an aid station at mile 2 and 11. As always we will listen to runner feedback and may add this if the demand and or need for it is there.
