Hobble Creek Half Marathon
The Hobble Creek Half Marathon is a long-distance running event held in Utah. Established in 1994 by two elite runners and USATF members, the event was designed to offer a fast course that serves as a preparation race for the St. George Marathon. The route begins in the Right Fork of Hobble Creek Canyon near Springville and follows a path that snakes down the canyon along the river trail and the adjacent road.
The event features a single distance:
- Half Marathon (21.1 km)
The course is characterized by rolling hills and a downhill trajectory, making it a frequent choice for participants looking to achieve a personal record. The race finishes at Mapleton City Park in Mapleton, Utah. Notable traditions of the event include providing flowers for female participants and awarding Elite 100 medals to top performers.
Registration typically follows a tiered pricing structure that increases as the event date approaches. Participation is limited by a runner cap, and online registration closes several weeks before the race date or once the capacity is reached. The event provides a scenic environment for runners as they follow the natural path of Hobble Creek through the canyon. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
