Marathon | Marathon Relay | 5K | Kids Run

We invite you — along with your family and friends — to join us for this fun and energizing event! It’s the perfect way to kick off the warm weather season and get moving together.

Marathon Relay

Take on the full 26.2-mile marathon course — relay style!

Grab your colleagues, friends, or family members and register a team of 2–4 runners. Work together to conquer 26.2 miles as you run through scenic Provo Canyon and onto the beautiful Provo River Trail. Each runner completes one (or more) legs, combining strength, strategy, and speed to cross the finish line as a team.

Leg breakdown is posted on the website

Please note: Relay teams are responsible for coordinating their own transportation to exchange points.

Vineyard City is excited to host a 5K & Kids 1K Run as part of our 2026 Vineyard Days Celebration! With various flat city trails, entering a park, running past a former Wetlands area, and getting a beautiful view of Utah Lake, the 5K race route can be one to remember! Due to the flatness of the course, this race may allow you to set a new Personal Record time!

Strollers are allowed in each race. However, child(s) in a stroller are not allowed to win the top overall male/female award, nor an age division medal in the 5K race. If a parent/guardian is interested in running alongside their child(s) in the Kids 1K race, only the child(s) need to register for the race.

Payson Orchards Triathlon, 12U Super Sprint Triathlon and 5K walk/run

Saturday, June 13, 2026

655 S Main St, Payson, UT 84651

7:00 a.m. Sprint & 5K race start

8:30 a.m. 12 & Under Tri Start

What I love about this race:

We think it's the prettiest sprint run and bike course in Utah! What brings people back year after year are the beautiful orchards we bike through on a relatively flat course; the friendly spectator area, including a kids playground, bounce house, and vendors; an awesome finisher medal; an accurate timing chip system; free photos, an easy and fun swim, not to mention the small-town race feel! The perfect triathlon for first-time triathletes or those seasoned athletes looking for a fun, fast, and beautiful sprint triathlon! Our race is a reverse-order triathlon (run, bike, and then we end with the swim). In 2026 we will again offer a 12 and under kids super-sprint triathlon! We will also be offering a 5K walk/run. Each participant will receive two wristbands for early entry to Payson Pool's open swim at 9:00 a.m.!

REGULAR SPRINT TRI:

RUN

Heading east toward Peteetneet Road (600 E), runners will turn south to run up the canyon until they meet the police turnaround at about 1.5 miles. On their way back, runners will turn left one block earlier than the "out" road onto 800 south, and then one last right onto Main Street to come into T1. The 5K ONLY runners will use the same 5K course, at the same time, leaving at 7 a.m. RUN ROUTE ON STRAVA.

T1

Runners will enter Transition 1 (T1) from the Main Street side, grab their bikes and helmets and exit out the other side of the transition area.

BIKE*

Racers will leave the transition area on foot, mount their bicycles on the road, and will continue along an 11-mile route. Cycling through blooming cherry orchards and beautiful farms is what makes this relatively flat ride worth a try. Coming up over the freeway overpass and back into downtown Payson, racers will have unobstructed views of the Payson LDS temple, as well as miles and miles of south Utah County. BIKE ROUTE ON STRAVA.

T2

Dismounting your bike on Main Street, participants will walk their bikes into the transition area to prepare for the last leg of the race, the swim!

Swim

After exiting T2, racers will make their way barefooted to the south east corner of the pool, coming in the side gate and enter the pool while watching out for other swimmers. Swimmers will “snake” up and back in each lane, staying to the RIGHT side of the lane, and then under the lane line (only on the south side of the pool) to repeat until they exit the pool after swimming in all six lanes, equaling 300 yards. Racer's times will stop when they exit the pool and walk over the timing mat.

12 and UNDER SUPER-SPRINT TRI:

START TIME, 8:30 A.M. ON OUR COUNT:

RUN: Triathlete boys and girls will make their way around the ball fields for a mile run. Route will be marked by stickers and will be led by a cyclist. RUN ROUTE

BIKE: The 2-mile route is a loop on quiet Payson City streets. Volunteers will help riders take left turns (2), and right turns will be marked. Please help your kids become familiar with the course BEFORE the event. BIKE ROUTE

SWIM: Racers will snake up and down the pool for four lengths (100 yards). Life jackets are permitted.

If a parent or trusted adult would like to race alongside their children, please register for the race (either you race in the sprint triathlon, or you race in the kid's triathlon). No awards will be given to anyone over the age of 12.

TIMING CHIP SYSTEM AWESOMENESS

RunnerCard will be providing our chip timing, and they do a phenomenal job. Shortly after you finish, you can pick up a print out of your time and ranking.

FINISH LINE/SPECTATOR AREA

While you’re exhausting yourself out on the course, your family and friends can enjoy a fun spectator area filled with vendors, kid’s activities, and music. When you cross that finish line, we'll drape you in your finisher medal! You did it!

EARLY ACCESS TO OPEN SWIM!

To make our event even more family-friendly, we offer two (2) free wristbands to Payson Pool's open swim with early entry at 9:00 a.m. for every sprint registrant (kid's race entrants get one (1) wristband)! Triathletes and their families will be able to enjoy the lazy river, the large and small slides, and the diving board as soon as all racers have completed the triathlon. Open swim usually opens at 11:00 a.m., but for you - you can enter shortly after you race! If you need more than two wristbands, you can purchase more during registration for only $3 each (normal entry is $5).

AWARDS

All participants will be given a swag bag including an awesome, super-soft t-shirt, race bib, finisher medal, 1-2 wristbands (sprint-2, kids-1) for early entry to Payson Pool's open swim, and other sponsor items.
