The Timp Trail Marathon and Half
The event is scheduled for May 15, 2027 in Orem, Utah. It offers two distances:
- Marathon
- Half Marathon
Both distances use the same mountain course and start and finish at Timpanogos Park. The marathon has 5,883 feet of elevation gain and the route is 99.9% mountain trail and fire break roads. Runners will encounter a few asphalt crossings at lower elevations, sections of technical ascent and descent, and possible snow, rain, mud, stream crossings, and rocks. The organizer notes this course should be treated like an ultra-distance race. There will not be porta-johns, mile markers, spectators, or volunteers guiding turns on the course.
Course markings use pink flagging to show the way; pink and blue together indicate a flagged turn. Officials will review markings and updated course conditions prior to the race.
Marathon aid stations are numbered and placed at known mile points including: #1 Starting Line; #2 Cliff Edge (5.34); #3 Dry Canyon Trailhead (7.7); #4 Battle Creek Trailhead (10.25); #5 Grove Creek Trailhead (11.39); #6 Battle Creek Trailhead (18.15); #7 Dry Canyon Trailhead (20.61); #8 Cliff Edge (25.29); #9 Finish (26.63). A drop bag option is available and returned to the starting area after the last runner clears the aid station.
Cutoff requirements: exit Grove Creek aid station (mile 11.39) by 10:00 AM, exit Battle Creek (mile 18.15) by 12:20 PM, and exit Dry Canyon (mile 20.61) by 1:00 PM. Registration closes Friday, May 14 at 11:59 PM MT. Listed entry prices range from $70.99 to $112.21 USD. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
