Herriman Yeti Run/Ruck 5K and Fun Run

Lace up your running shoes or load up your ruck for the annual Herriman Yeti Run/Ruck 5K and Fun Run, kicking off Fort Herriman Towne Days on June 20, 2026, in Herriman, UT. This community-focused event, starting and finishing at Butterfield Park (6212 W Butterfield Park Way), offers a spirited 5K course for runners and ruckers, alongside a 1-Mile Fun Run for all ages. Participants can expect typical race day conditions with highs around 85F and lows around 54F, and only a 4% chance of precipitation, making for a pleasant early summer morning start at 7:30 AM.

The 5K route, which follows the same path as previous years, winds through Herriman's charming streets, including Butterfield Park Way, Emmeline Park, Mirabella Drive, Indian Pony Way, and Rose Run Lane, before a final stretch on 6400 W back to the park. While described as a "well done city fun run," runners should be prepared for two notable hills and a course that may run slightly longer than a traditional 5K, making it a challenging but rewarding experience for many. Post-race, celebrate your finish with snacks, drinks, and a unique finisher woodallion, with many enjoying the lively atmosphere that includes a bubble machine at the finish line.

What makes the Herriman Yeti Run truly unique is its inclusive atmosphere, welcoming leashed dogs on the course and featuring both a timed 5K Run and a 5K Ruck division with specific weight requirements for those seeking an extra challenge. All participants receive "Yeti swag" and a poly/cotton blend event shirt, contributing to the festive community spirit. While some reviewers note the absence of mile markers, the overall experience is consistently praised as an enjoyable and well-organized local race, particularly for families and those looking for a fun fitness outing.
