Orem, United States of America · Saturday 16 May 2026
Orem sits in Utah's Wasatch Front region, nestled between the Wasatch Mountains and Utah Lake. This part of northern Utah carries the character of a growing foothill community, with mountain views providing a scenic backdrop. The area sits at elevation, ranging from around 1,500 meters in the lower sections to over 2,300 meters at the highest points, so runners arriving from sea level will want to account for the altitude when planning their preparation. The Timp Trail Marathon course is straightforward in its demands. It follows road terrain with gentle rolling hills rather than any significant climbs, making it more approachable than many mountain marathons. The elevation profile shows gradual changes throughout rather than steep pitches, though the overall altitude means you'll be running high throughout. This is a course that rewards steady pacing and honest effort without the shock of dramatic elevation changes, though the thinner air at that elevation will still require respect and acclimatization.
