May the Fourth Race

Prepare for an epic nocturnal adventure at the May the Fourth Race, set to ignite the Legacy Parkway Trail System in Farmington, UT, on Saturday, May 2, 2026. This popular event invites runners to embrace their inner Jedi or Sith, offering distances of 13.1M and 10K, alongside a 5K option. The race kicks off and concludes at the Legacy Events "Space" Center, transforming the scenic route into a galaxy far, far away as participants run under the stars.

The course itself is a "nice flat out and back" along the picturesque Legacy Parkway Trail, featuring a journey under a tunnel and over a bridge, making it an accessible and enjoyable experience for all levels. Aid stations will be well-stocked with Porta Potties, water, Powerade, and gels at select locations to keep you fueled on your quest. Runners can expect typical race day conditions with highs around 62F and lows near 44F, and only a 15% chance of precipitation, ensuring comfortable running weather for this unique Star Wars-themed nighttime event. This year, with the "Race Director Strikes Back," participants are encouraged to don their favorite character costumes and decide if they will fight for the light or dark side, with light swords even included in registration.

The May the Fourth Race is more than just a run; it's a vibrant, themed celebration presented by On Hill Events that promises camaraderie and spirited competition. Whether you're aiming for a personal best on the flat course or simply looking for an unforgettable experience, this event delivers a truly galactic journey.
