About the race
Happy Trails Snackathon is a themed running event on March 13, 2027 in Sandy, Utah. The event uses a paved 1 km loop at Lone Peak Park and offers two distance options.
- 5k race consists of five 1 km loops.
- 10k race consists of ten 1 km loops.
At the end of each loop runners or walkers must eat a snack placed in a clearly marked coned area before they may continue. Snack order is determined by a random drawing before the race. A skipped snack requires serving a two minute hourglass penalty before leaving the snack area. As a result 5k participants eat four snacks and 10k participants eat nine snacks.
Provided items include a race shirt, a locally made finisher medal, free race photos, water at snack stations, and well stocked snack stations. The published snack list includes items such as Oatmeal Creme Pie, Twinkie, Nutty Buddy, Swiss Roll, Cosmic Brownie, and similar portioned treats; the list may vary year to year. Awards are planned for top finishers and all finishers receive a custom medal.
Registration uses early, normal, and late pricing tiers and the Snackathon has a participant cap set at 250. Packet pickup is available before the event at a local running store and on race day at the start area. Volunteers receive a free future race entry and access to finish line food.
