4.167 Miles of Pure Joy

Day Course

Odd numbered laps will be run counter clockwise

Even numbered laps will be run clockwise

The course begins at Mount Timpanogos Park which is amazing in itself. The first part of the course is when you will do your climbing accumulating all of your elevation gain. Once on top, the next 1.5 miles is a flat trail great for running and making up time. All while taking in breathtaking vistas of the surrounding mountains. Finally you will begin your descent back to the park with a downhill section.

​

We did the different directions to switch it up but also take advantage of the different views.

4.167 miles and +686 ft elevation gain total

99% Trail, 1% Sidewalk​

Night Course

Out and back

If any runners are still standing by 10 pm they will begin the Night Course. This is for safety reasons given that most runners at this point will be hallucinating and seeing unicorns and rainbows. This course strolls through Mount Timpanogos Park and puts runners on the Provo River Parkway Trail. A paved trail that follows Provo Canyon and keeps runners safe away from the canyon traffic.

This course is actually really pretty but the truth is you won't be able to see anything anyway so take comfort in knowing it is a well paved trail with less elevation gain and tripping hazards!

Summary

Plan for a day filled of fun in the mountains. We recommend bringing some sort of hydration such as a camel back or water bottle. We will have some snacks and food but again come prepared with what you are used to having. You can always leave it at the park. Better to have it and not need it. Come prepared for the worst and hope for the best!
