The Timp Trail Marathon and Half
The event takes place on May 15, 2027 in Orem, UT, and starts and finishes at Timpanogos Park. It offers a full marathon and a half marathon on mountain trail terrain.
- Marathon (26.63 miles)
- Half Marathon
The marathon has 5,883 feet of elevation gain and is composed of about 99.9% mountain trail and fire break roads. Runners will encounter a few asphalt crossings at lower elevations, technical ascent and descent sections, and possible snow, rain, mud, stream crossings, and rocky sections. The organizer notes the course should be treated like an ultra-distance race rather than a traditional road marathon.
Marathon aid stations are listed by mile: Starting Line; Cliff Edge (5.34); Dry Canyon Trailhead (7.7); Battle Creek Trailhead (10.25 and 18.15); Grove Creek Trailhead (11.39); Dry Canyon Trailhead (20.61); Cliff Edge (25.29); Finish (26.63). A drop bag is available at Battle Creek (mile 18.15) and clothing or gear left there will be returned to the starting area after the last runner clears that aid station.
Course markings use pink flagging for the route and pink with blue flagging to mark turns. A review of course marking and conditions will occur at race start. There will not be porta-johns, mile markers, spectators, or volunteers indicating direction along the course. Registration closes Fri, May 14 at 11:59 PM MT. Late registrants are not guaranteed a race shirt. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
