Provo City Half Marathon

Provo City Half Marathon is run in Provo, Utah, on May 1, 2027. The half marathon (13.1 miles) starts at 7:00 AM on a course that begins in Provo Canyon and finishes in downtown Provo, and a 5K (3.1 miles) follows at 8:30 AM. The half marathon course is USATF certified and the event uses chip timing. Entrants receive an event shirt, finishers get custom medals, and there is entertainment, activities for children and gifts at the finish.

A canyon start dropping into town means the early miles run downhill, which is fast but hard on the quads if you get carried away. Practice controlled downhill running in the weeks beforehand and hold your goal pace rather than chasing free time. A certified course and chip timing make this a sensible place to attempt a personal best or a qualifying time.
