Runners are set to start the race on Executive Parkway in the area known as Thanksgiving Point, a museum, garden and entertainment complex that’s home to Lehi’s Museum of Ancient Life dinosaur and fossil exhibit as well as an 18-hole golf course.
From there, they head north and west along Executive Parkway toward the Thanksgiving Point Golf Course, where the course then converts from the roadways onto the Jordan River Parkway trail system, and here runners begin the stretch that takes them south along the river for the next few miles.
The course will run through both Olympic Park and Willow Park on the way south toward the residential neighborhoods just south of Willow Park, where the route makes a loop along Water Way and the trails within the residential areas here.
The course makes another brief stretch along the Jordan River trail after runners pass the mile 7 marker, and then heads north toward Main Street and rejoins the portion runners covered earlier.
There, they’ll head north back toward Olympic Park and retrace their steps for much of the second half of the race, except this time turning onto Cottonwood Drive and Garden Drive before heading all the way back toward the campus of Mountain Applied Technology College where they started for the race finish.
