The Hobble Creek Half Marathon was started in 1994 by two elite runners and USATF members with a vision to create a course that would be both a record-breaker and a great tune-up for the St. George Marathon.
They chose a beautiful route that starts up the right fork of Hobble Creek Canyon close to Springville, Utah; the course snakes down the canyon, follows the local river trail, and continues on the road next to Hobble Creek.

Race Info
Participants must take the bus to the starting line. The race starts near Balsam Campground, up the right fork of Hobble Creek Canyon. Busses will drop participants off at the last possible turn-around spot (4 miles from the start). Participants will walk that distance from the turn-around to the start line.
The top 50 male and female finishers, based on gun time, receive an Elite 100 medal. All other finishers receive a finisher’s medal.
Prize money and bouquets will be given to the top 3 overall runners and to one the overall masters winner. Age division winners get some gifts from sponsors.
