Am I allowed to use my Portable Music Device during the race?
Yes!! Just please be aware of traffic around you to keep you and other runners safe.
Are there Timing Chips & Race Numbers?
All official entrants will receive a timing chip along with their race bib number.
If I get injured or for some other reason can’t run after I have registered, can I have my money refunded?
Once your registration has been accepted all fees are non-refundable, however, you may transfer your entry to another runner if you do so by July 5, 2024. Please read the rules and instructions at http://www.run13.com/races/hobbler/faq. This will reduce a lot of confusion for you if you need to modify your registration for any reason. Keep in mind, the new runner will pay the current listed price, not the price you may have paid when you registered. This is our most frequently asked question because runners do not read through the instructions.
Will there be pacers on the course?
Yes, RYR Race Pacers will be pacing the Half Marathon course. We will also be lining up runners according to their pace per mile at the start line – please line up accordingly and allow the faster runners to gather at the front of the pack.
Can I run with a stroller?
Yes. We simply ask those running with strollers to start towards the back of the race pack to avoid other runners tripping over stroller wheels and injuring themselves or their children.
Where are good places for my family to watch the race?
The best place is at the Finish Line Compound. Also, have your family check out the interactive course maps online and they may find a great place to cheer you on.
What happens if there is bad weather?
A little rain won’t stop this race! However, if there are major weather warnings prior to the event, check the home page for updates and watch for an email.
In the event that severe weather does threaten the event, we have prepared some weather cancellation policies and guidelines. Runners’ safety is the most important thing and if any of the threatening weather conditions listed below are present the day of the event, the event may be delayed or canceled. When weather conditions or other physical conditions present a danger to participants, race officials maintain the right to cancel the event. Less threatening conditions may cause alterations of the course or the post-event festival to ensure participant, volunteer, and community safety. Such conditions fall under the label “Acts of God,” and will not result in refunding of any race entry fees or future event credits.
The race may be canceled or delayed if any of the following weather conditions exist: Lightning Threat, Lightning Storm, Tornado Warning, Tornado Watch, Thunderstorm, “Heavy” Rain, other major weather condition.
The start of the event may be delayed one hour from the posted start time if any of the above-mentioned conditions exist. The event may then be canceled if any of the weather conditions persist: Tornado Warning, Tornado Watch, or Thunderstorm.
The Race Director, in accordance with the city and the local law enforcement, has the authority to cancel the event, if deemed unsafe for participants and volunteers for any reason. If weather conditions force cancellation of the event, no refunds can be provided, since funds were already spent in preparation for race day.
In the event of cancellation, we will make arrangements for all runners to receive any items available to runners from event sponsors.
If Event is canceled more than 24 hours prior to the start time: We will notify all participants by email. If Event is canceled less than 24 hours before the start time: We will notify all participants by email. If Event is canceled during the actual event, on-site notifications will be posted.
Will there be a Finish line party?
Yes, the finish line will be a party. We will have amazing food and entertainment, bounce houses, and face painting for kids. Please feel free to bring blankets and chairs to relax on at the finish line while cheering on your fellow runners!

We start off with a chilly swim of about 450 yards around three buoys in Wayne Bartholomew Family Park Reservoir, where our transition area is. Next, is a six-mile challenging climb up the left fork of Hobble Creek Canyon, but don't forget the six-mile descent too! You'll be flying past the beautiful canyon views! Stash your bike and dash in the river bottoms on a relatively flat 5k run to finish off the trifecta. You'll love our beautiful course, awesome finisher medal, super-soft t-shirt, accurate chip timing, free photos, and not to mention the absolute charm of Art City--Springville!

THE RACE!:
SWIM
Starting on the beach by stepping over the timing mat, you will swim about 450 yards counter-clockwise around three buoys in a triangular pattern. Because the usual temperature in late summer of Bartholomew pond is around 60 degrees, wetsuits are encouraged, but not required. Lifeguards on kayaks, paddle boards, and canoes will help keep our swimmers safe. Lifejackets are allowed as well.
T1
Swimmers will exit the water where they started and enter the transition area to dry off, grab their bike, helmet (REQUIRED), and shoes and head off up the canyon!
BIKE
The bike exits the park to the east and turns north (left) up the hill. Springville Police will help cyclists turn east (right) up Canyon Rd where cyclists will do a simple out-and-back course up the LEFT fork of Hobble Creek Canyon. No aid stations will be on the bike course, but water for your water bottles will be available in transition. Cyclists will travel slowly up the 6.2 mile course, and then fly down the canyon on the way back! But slow down as you come out of the canyon and police will help you turn left toward Bartholomew Park to finish and rack your bike in T2.
T2
Rack your bike, strap on your running shoes and head south out of the park.
RUN
You'll make one big rectangle, running in the river bottoms with aid stations at every mile. After running through beautiful Mapleton and Springville neighborhoods, you'll head toward Bartholomew park, run around the pond on the dirt road to the finish line! You'll have done it! We'll drape a finisher's medal around your neck and you can celebrate your success with family, friends, and lots of good post-race snacks! If you're ONLY doing the 5K walk/run, we'll start you at 8:00 a.m., and you'll get everything that the triathletes do!
TIMING CHIP SYSTEM AWESOMENESS
RunnerCard will be providing our chip timing, and they do a phenomenal job. Timing chips are placed on your ankle for the duration of the triathlon. When you finish we'll grab your chip off your ankle--make sure we do so you don't get fined for losing it! Shortly after you finish, you can pick up a print out of your time and ranking. You'll also receive a text with your time right after you cross the finish line! Talk about efficient!
