The Timp Trail Marathon and Half

Orem, United States • 17 May 2025

The Timp Trail Marathon and Half is a challenging trail running event held at Mt. Timpanogos Park in Orem, Utah. The marathon covers 26.1 miles with 5,883 feet of elevation gain, while the half marathon spans 13.1 miles with 2,389 feet of ascent.

Both courses feature rugged mountain trails and firebreak roads, with minimal asphalt, and include technical ascents and descents through scenic terrain. Runners may encounter snow, mud, stream crossings, and rocky paths. Aid stations are spaced several miles apart, so participants are advised to carry their own hydration.

The race emphasizes self-navigation with marked flagging but limited on-course support, making it akin to an ultra-distance event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
