Why should I pre-register?

There are two good reasons to pre-register early: namely that we guarantee race shirts in requested sizes to pre-registered runners, and that you will save time on race day, not to mention any hassle.

Where can I pick up my registration materials?

We will have all pre-registered runners’ bibs and shirts available for pick up at the event location on Saturday, November 3 from 8:30 to 9:50 AM. We strongly encourage you to arrive no later than 30 minutes before race start.

Do I need my registration receipt to pick up my materials?

No. We maintain a list of everyone who has registered.

What forms of payment do you accept?

On-line payments may be made using credit cards. On-site registration can be cash (preferred), check or credit card (please be patient if we need to process your card).

Do I need to register/pay for my young child?

There is no charge for children in baby strollers, jogging strollers, or wagons.

What t-shirt sizes are available?

Adult unisex technical sizes: S, M, L, XL. Youth Sizes: S, M, L. Send us a note if you’re looking for a specific size and we will try to accommodate. Register early to ensure that you receive the t-shirt size you want.

TIMING AND AWARDS
How will you record times?

Event timing is manual. However, there will be a clock at the finish line showing the elapsed time from the start of the first wave.

Where can I find timing results?

All timing results will be available from our website no later than one day after the race.

Will awards be given?

Yes. Please see our Awards Page for award information, including age divisions and race categories.

What time does the race start?

Can I bring my dog to the race?

Yes, but South Jordan city codes are enforced. For your pet’s safety and the safety of all participants please use a leash, and be prepared to clean up after your pet.

Can I participate on roller blades/scooter/bike/skateboard? Stroller?
Baby strollers, jogging strollers, wagons and wheelchairs are okay to use in the event. Please leave roller blades, scooters, bicycles, and skateboards at home because our event insurance specifically prohibits their use.

Where should I park?

Please see our Course Info page for information on the event location. The page will include travel and parking directions.

Where are lost and found items kept?

If there are items not recovered at the event, please contact Greg at (801) 755-9111. Any items not claimed within one week after the event will be donated to a goodwill organization.

Are there bathrooms?

Bathrooms will be available at the event.

Will there be refreshments?

Bananas, oranges, bagels, and water will be available at the finish line. The course will also have a water station at the turn-around point (approximately mile 1.55).
