Jordan River Blitz Backyard

Jordan River winds through the Wasatch Front over 40 miles connecting Utah Lake and the Great Salt Lake. The trail system that runs along this river is one of the greatest in the state. Beautiful trail, no road crossings, tons of parking, amazing starting area. This area is the perfect location for a Backyard race. Only thing that could make it any better is the Fall colors that come to the Wasatch Valley by the third week of October. We hope you come out to push yourself and have a good time with friends and family at the finish line.Beautiful well marked courseLocally made finisher medalsShirt that you will actually wear while runningGreat Harvest Bread breakfastBig Daddy's PizzaWell stocked finish lineLive resultsTimed lapsOur goal is to provide convenient, affordable, and fun races to runners.Backyard races have exploded in popularity around the world.

What a Backyard is and the difference versus a Blitz Backyard explained belowBackyards are a 4.167 mile loop course that runners will do once every hour for either 4, 8, or 12 hours total. You cannot start the next loop early.If you are unable to complete a loop in the hour or choose to not start a loop on the hour, you are removed from the raceThe goal is to push yourself to new limits. You will never know how far and fast you can run until you tryFinish line becomes home base. Fun for friends and family to come cheer you on and hang outBlitz Backyard differ from regular Backyards because we will time every loop. Placement is determined not only by loops completed but also by a runners overall time on all completed loopsThis provides a very fun and competitive twist to those runners who really want to lay it all out on the course. Runners who don't care for the "blitz" format can still push themselves to finish the number of loops they signed up for just like a normal Backyard.Blitz Backyards require a sound strategy with how you manage your hour as well as being physically and mentally toughWe recommend viewing our website for more information including course map and details as well as other races we offer!
