We hope that part of you Independence Day celebration includes our Freedom Run 10K, 5K or the Mayor’s one mile Fun Run. The annual run has become an integral part of America’s Freedom Festival as thousands of participants at all levels and abilities join this invigorating event. We did some inquiry about the history of the Freedom Run and have come to the conclusion that the Freedom Run has been held in Provo since about WWII. If you have any information about the early history of the Freedom Run, we would love to hear from you.

These past several years have been really fun! The race has improved each year and the number of runners has increased as well. We believe that there is a possibility that we will have 5,000 runners this year. Now wouldn’t that be an awesome sight! Tell your friends! let’s break 5,000.

We encourage you to get decked out in patriotic garb for the run. We have seen a lot of great costumes and would love to see more. Did you see “Uncle Sam” on stilts running the race last year? Give us some Red, White and Blue!

Run13 is proud to invite you to the 2010 Inaugural Hobbler Half Marathon, half marathon relay, and 5k! This gentle, downhill half marathon course is perfect for the rookie half marathoner and a great way for the experienced runner to achieve a new PR. The start line begins up the left fork of Hobble Creek Canyon and loops around Springville City to finish inside Arts Park. As always, the race will be chip timed for ultimate accuracy and there will be plenty of massage therapists at the finish line to loosen up those hard-working muscles. Great food, music and entertainment await you at the end so be sure to invite the entire family along. Overall top winners receive handsome cash prizes and top three finishers in each age division will be awarded medals. You won’t want to miss out on this Inaugural event!

Not quite ready for a half-marathon yet? Well what better way to train for next year’s Hobbler Half by running the Hobbler 5k, which follows the exact same last 3 miles of the Half Marathon course! And of course, all 5k participants are chip timed, receive Tech Shirts, treated to post-race massages and Magelby’s Fresh breakfast at the finish line party. Medals will be awarded to top 3 finishers in each age division with cash prizes going to top overall winners. We are pulling out all the stops to make this the best run13 event yet, so lace up those running shoes and register now!
The 5K will start at 7:30 AM at Arts Park – 700 S. 1300 E. Springville, UT.

In addition to the individual Hobbler Half Marathon is a competitive two-person relay that will follow the same course. Each teammate will run approximately half of the distance, which is just over 6.5 miles per leg. There will be an exchange point set up at the midpoint of the route. Here is how it works: both team members are invited to check in at the start line on race morning. After runner 1 begins, runner 2 drives his/her car to the exchange point. After the exchange, runner 1 drives back to the start/finish line.

Run on the Jeremy Ranch dirt road, along gentle rolling hills accompanied by a quiet mountain stream, if you are lucky you will see porcupine, fox, and raccoon. It is an out and back course.
