2026 Timpanogos Half Marathon

Since 2007, the Timpanogos Half Marathon has drawn around 941 runners to American Fork Canyon for a meaningful morning. The point-to-point course begins at Tibble Fork Reservoir and descends through mountain scenery to Art Dye Park, offering a net-downhill route that many find scenic and fast. About 28% of runners return year after year, a testament to the race's strong community pull.

The day starts in near-darkness with a Light the Night tribute—a pre-dawn memorial for cancer patients—followed by an electric guitar rendition of the National Anthem. Runners pass through the Memory Mile, lined with tribute signs, before finishing in the warmth of the Utah morning. A portion of every registration supports local cancer research, giving the event a purpose beyond personal records.

The atmosphere is intimate and community-driven, with the canyon's red-rock walls and reservoir views providing a dramatic backdrop. The downhill profile and solid organization make it a rewarding choice for both first-timers and seasoned half-marathoners looking for a race with heart.
