Get ready for an inspiring and exhilarating race experience at the Runtastic TIMP on June 20, 2026, in scenic American Fork, Utah. This event, celebrating its 16th anniversary, offers distances for every runner, including a Half Marathon (13.1M), 10K (6.2M), 5K (3.1M), and a Kids Run (0.5M). Participants consistently praise the Runtastic TIMP for its exceptional organization, stunning course, and vibrant finish line atmosphere. Typical race day conditions in June see comfortable lows around 54°F and highs around 85°F, with a minimal 4% chance of precipitation, providing ideal running weather, especially with early start times.

The Half Marathon boasts a USATF-certified, largely downhill course designed for personal bests, featuring an impressive elevation drop of over 1,600 feet. Beginning with a breathtaking sunrise at Tibble Fork Reservoir, runners embark on seven miles through the majestic American Fork Canyon, with towering rock walls, a flowing river, and crisp mountain air creating an unforgettable backdrop, and views of Mount Timpanogos. The course then transitions to paved Cedar Hills trails alongside golf courses and city paths, before a strong finish on the Murdock Canal Trail, leading to a fast, flat sprint into Art Dye Park. Well-stocked aid stations along the route provide water, electrolytes, and GU, ensuring runners are supported every step of the way.

More than just a race, Runtastic TIMP is a powerful "Run to Conquer Cancer" event. The morning begins with a moving "Light the Night" tribute, honoring cancer fighters and survivors, followed by a live electric guitar rendition of the National Anthem echoing through the canyon. All races conclude by running through the emotional "Memory Mile," lined with tribute signs honoring those impacted by cancer. With a festive finish line celebration at Art Dye Park offering finisher medals, post-race food, and photo opportunities, Runtastic TIMP promises a race with both heart and an incredible sense of accomplishment.
