Hobble Creek 1/2 Marathon
Hobble Creek 1/2 Marathon Race Description
The Hobble Creek Half Marathon was started by two elite runners and USATF members in 1994 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 along the river trail and on the road next to Hobble Creek.
The race now strives to be Utah's premier 1/2 Marathon event. The course is beautiful and fast with rolling hills and is a great place to set a PR (Personal Record) or tune up for a fall marathon. The race is known for its fast course, flowers for women, and Elite 100 medals.

This is such a classic. It is a beautiful course at the perfect time of year. I love the group that puts it on and I love the great atmosphere! This is the perfect tune up race in prepping for St George.

Super disappointing. I love half marathons and for one this small, it was understaffed, and unorganized through the race. Too few bathrooms at the top and only 3 (2 in the first mile) on the course. I finished at the 1:43 mark-many to come after me and there was no water. Who cares about creamies, but to run out of water on a hot day…disappointing.

I have ran this race two years in a row now. I have earned a PR on both years! It felt great to beat my previous time and I enjoyed the environment that this race offered. It is a very downhill course and I used it as a training race/run to get ready for St. George Marathon.

This race was a massive disappointment. I finished in under 2 hours and they had run out of WATER at the finish line! Not a single thing for runners to drink in the 85 degree weather. The mile walk to the top from the bus drop off was ridiculous: it was pitch black, cars were passing us the whole time, and there wasn’t a single light at the top. Also the volunteers were pretty rude at packet pick up the night before and the medals and shirts they gave out were super lame. This is probably the worst race I’ve ever participated in. Save your money and find a different one!
