Description of Race Events

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.
