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 2 miles. Those first 2 miles offer incredible views of the Wasatch Front mountains.

​

From here you continue following the Murdock Canal Trail for another 2 miles to the next aid station crossing under tunnels to keep you out of reach from the busy Timpanogos Highway.

​

Shortly after reaching the second 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.​
