Friday Feature & GIVEAWAY: Timp Half Entry

Have you ever been to American Fork Canyon...if not...you are missing out! What is even better...to run a half marathon down American Fork Canyon! The Timp Half Marathon is one of my favorite half marathons in the state!

This race is for everyone...really!!! Whether you are an experienced runner or just starting, you will absolutely love this race. This course has a gradual 1800 ft. decent and is USATF certified which means you will have a good chance at setting a new personal record.

The race takes place on July 27, 2013 and starts at Tibble Fork Reservoir. From there you will run down American Fork Canyon enjoying views of Mount Timpanogas and the famous Timpanogas Cave.

You will also get to run by the LDS Mount Timpanogas temple as you are heading into the finish line at American Fork Highschool. And I can't forget to mention...the finish line will be full of food, live music and lots of fun!! Other fun things you can expect at this race is: early morning yoga at the start line and the national anthem right before the starting gun goes off, several entertainment spots along the course which helps make the run even more enjoyable, great aid stations, amazing volunteers and 2000 other runners to help push you along!!

We had such a great time at this race last year and will be there again this year! If you haven't ever ran a half marathon but want to, this is a great one to train for. If you don't know where to start, let us know. We will help find a training plan that is great for you!! If you have ran a half marathon and want to better your time, this is a great one to train for! You will not regret it!!
