Sogonapmit Marathon | Timpanogos Half Marathon

Are you ready to take on the Sogonapmit Marathon?

This marathon comes with a unique challenge.

First: Can you begin from the finish and get to the START of the Timpanogos Half Marathon BEFORE the gun goes off for the start of the half marathon?? As you hit 13.1 miles, you will be welcomed to 2,000 screaming ½ marathoners, cheering your accomplishment.

Second: The next challenge is to see how long you can stay in front of the half marathoners racing down the canyon… This is what we call, “the Sogonapmit Marathon Challenge”

Race Details

Time: 3:20 AM start – yes you read that right. We need to get you up the canyon before the gun goes off – this will give you 2 ½ hours to run 13.1 miles. If you don’t believe you are capable of running this uphill half in 2 ½ hours than we recommend the doing just the half.

Place: The Race will start at American Fork High School located in American Fork Utah

Timed: YES, this race is chip timed

Aid Stations: We will have sports drink and water at all aid stations at miles: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 13, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24. It will be “help yourself” aid stations for the first 13 miles and then we will have volunteers at each aid station as you run the last 13.1 miles

Required Gear: Head lamp and reflective vest. You will be able to put this gear in a special bag at 13.1 mile turn around and it will be carefully returned to the finish line.

Recommended: We recommend you carry a water bottle with you as the aid stations are spread out a little more than most marathons. We will also have glow sticks for you to wear so people can see you in the morning.

Race Course: The course is USATF Certified and will be marked so you will know where to run. However, we ask that you study the course so you are familiar with the course and don’t make a wrong turn.

How to Prepare: This course is incredible. We believe your time for the first 13.1 miles will be 1-2 minutes slower than your normal marathon pace. However, once you turn around and start down the canyon, you should be able to make up time – it is FAST
