Prepare for an invigorating run at Run Farmington, set for Saturday, May 9, 2026, in the scenic surrounds of Farmington, UT. This popular event caters to all abilities with distances including a Half Marathon (13.1M), 10K (6.2M), 5K, and a Kids 1-Mile run. Runners can anticipate typical race day conditions with highs around 64°F and lows around 46°F, and only a 14% chance of precipitation, creating an ideal climate for a spring race. Race organizers have even implemented earlier start times to ensure cooler temperatures, especially beneficial for longer distances.
The courses, starting and finishing at Farmington City Regional Park, offer a picturesque journey along paved bike paths through Davis County. Half Marathon and 10K participants will experience winding routes under mature trees, over streams, and through landscapes that evoke a forest-like feel without the dirt. The Half Marathon route specifically guides runners along the Farmington Creek Trail, past Farmington Pond with a short initial climb, followed by an exhilarating downhill stretch to the Legacy Parkway Trail, providing both challenge and natural beauty. Reviews consistently praise the well-marked, family-friendly courses and beautiful scenery, with the 5K being notably fast and flat.
Run Farmington stands out with its commitment to a great runner experience. Half Marathoners will find water and Gatorade stations every two miles, along with convenient public restrooms and porta-potties at various points along the course. While the 5K typically doesn't feature on-course aid stations, ample refreshments await all finishers, often including water, bananas, donuts, and sandwiches. Participants will also receive unique, often handcrafted wooden finisher medals, adding a memorable touch to their achievement. With chip timing, pacers for the Half Marathon, and even prize money for top finishers and course record breakers, Run Farmington promises a rewarding and enjoyable race day.
