Embark on a memorable running experience at the Hobbler Half Marathon and 5K, set for July 11, 2026, in the scenic landscape of Springville, Utah. This beloved event, known for its predominantly downhill course, is an ideal race for both seasoned runners chasing a personal record and beginners looking for a welcoming half marathon.

The USATF-certified half marathon course plunges runners through the breathtaking beauty of Hobble Creek Canyon, offering a continuous feast for the eyes with rolling hills, lush trees, quaint bridges, and picturesque ranches. Starting high up the left fork of Hobble Creek Canyon, the route features a gradual descent, transitioning from canyon roads to paved trails, then winding through the charming streets of Springville before culminating in a festive finish at Arts Park. Participants can expect well-supported aid stations approximately every two miles, stocked with water and Powerade, along with energy gels at mile six to keep you fueled. Medical support and first aid kits are readily available throughout the course and at the finish line, where massage therapists will also be on hand to help with post-race recovery.

While typical race day conditions in mid-July can see highs around 96°F and lows around 64°F with a minimal 2% chance of precipitation, the early morning start times for both the Half Marathon and 5K aim to provide cooler running conditions as you navigate the shaded canyon. All finishers will receive custom medals and athletic shirts, celebrating their achievement. Beyond the race itself, the Hobbler Half Marathon fosters a vibrant atmosphere with food, music, and entertainment awaiting runners and their families at the finish line, making it a truly unique and enjoyable event in the Utah running calendar.
