A bag drop will be provided at the Marathon start line. THERE WILL BE NO BAG DROPS AT THE MARATHON RELAY EXCHANGE POINTS.
Please use the bag you receive at the expo with your race packet for any items you bring to the start and won’t be running with. Tear off the tag with your race number from the bottom of your bib and attach it with the zip tie provided in your bag. You can also use a permanent marker to write your bib number in the box on the front of the bag.
**Please only put items in the bag that do not have personal, valuable, or essential (like car keys!). Runtastic is not liable for the loss or damage of any belongings that are put in the drop bags.
BAG DROP AT START — PICK-UP AT FINISH: Announcements will be made to drop your bag at the start line in the designated bins or bag trailer/vehicle 15 minutes before the start of the race. You can retrieve your bag after your race at the Bag Pick-Up Corral at the Finish Line.
THERE ARE NO CLOTHING DROPS ON THE COURSE
ANY CLOTHING OR ITEMS DROPPED AT THE START LINE OR ALONG THE COURSE WILL BE PICKED UP TO BE DISCARDED OR DONATED. If there are any clothing or other items you might not want to wear or carry the whole race, please put these items in your drop bag or a designated DONATION BIN at the start of the race. We appreciate your help in striving to keep the community clean, which is allowing us to run!
As a courtesy, any drop bags that are not picked up at the Pick-up Corral at the Finish Bag during the race will be taken to Runtastic’s office at 50 North Center Street, American Fork, UT 84003. Your bag can be picked up the week following the race from our office lobby on weekdays from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Loose clothing or other items not in drop bags at the end of the event will be donated.
If you lose an item during the event, please visit the Runtastic Information booth in the building by the lake to see if it has been turned in.
If you have more questions, please contact us at info@runtasticevents.com.

RACE PHOTOS
Share all the fun miles with race day photos! All Runtastic races include FREE photos for all the post-race bragging.
Look for our photographers at the start line, along the course, at the finish line, photo backdrops in the finish line area, and at the awards stage. Make sure your bib number is visible so you can search for your photos online.

Bibs with Timing by Laurel
The Runtastic Marathon, Relay, 5K, and Kids Run will be professionally timed. The chips will be attached to the back of your bib number. Please don’t wrinkle or stuff the bib in your pocket.
The Top Three Overall Male and Female finishers will be determined by gun time (regular timing).
- GUN Time is the time elapsed from the sound of the gun to the finish line.
- CHIP Time is the real time from when the runner crosses the starting line to crossing the finish line.
Run with the RYR PACERS
The Run Your Race (RYR) Pacers will be pacing the runners on the Marathon course to help them achieve a new PR!
To run with a pace group, look for the pacer holding up a sign with the finishing time you want to achieve on it. The overall time listed will get faster as you get closer to the starting line. Please find your pacer and line up behind them to ensure you will start and be around other runners with a similar pace. Or find them on the course!
MARATHON PACERS
Please park in designated lots at Utah Lake State Park.
COURSE: To watch and support your runners along the course, please find a viewing area that allows you to drive and park without interfering with the runners. Please park in designated parking lots and not along the course/runner’s path. Dogs/Pets are NOT allowed anywhere on the course for the safety of the runners.
FINISH LINE: Cheer on your runners along the fencing leading up to the finish line and after they come out in the finish area. The corral area directly after the finish line is for runners only. Please refrain from entering this area so all of our participants are able to get their professional photos, finisher medals, and post-race food before exiting and joining you to celebrate in the finish area.
You’ll cross the finish line along the water at Utah Lake State Park — and that’s where the celebration begins.
After finishing, Runtastic Marathon runners will be welcomed into the finish corral to receive a finisher medal, Redmond Re-Lyte, water, chocolate milk, and post-race food. (Finish line food is reserved for registered participants.)
Enjoy all this at the finish line:
- Custom Finisher Medal

New Name, Same Great Race — From the Mountains to the Lake
Due to new and continued construction along sections of the originally proposed Runtastic Utah City route, the 2026 course will now finish at Utah Lake State Park in Provo, Utah. Marathon and Relay runners will still start in the mountains, enjoy the fast, scenic 1400′ descent down Provo Canyon, and finish at the lake — delivering the same spring race experience you’ve been looking forward to.
The event will still be on April 11, 2026, and with all the same race distances.
All participants currently registered for Runtastic Utah City are automatically transferred to the same Runtastic Marathon race distances. No action is required.
We are excited to launch the planned Runtastic Utah City race courses in 2027.
We appreciate your continued support and look forward to seeing you at the starting line this April!
