We are sad to report that the Fully Nuts Half Marathon has been cancelled. We were unable to gain permission to use a critical section of the race course. We tried to reroute the course but cannot get in the 13 miles with the start/finish being at Mt. Ogden Park. For those of you who have already signed up for the race we will be mailing out refunds at the end of May.

We are grateful for all the support that you have given us over the last 2 years and we will continue on with the Gib Wallace Memorial Race for 2013.

Check In and Packet Pick Up
You can pick up your race packet and check in starting at 8 am Saturday morning at Mt. Ogden Park- top of 32nd Street. We will be starting the race at 9 am sharp so please make sure you get there to check in, get your bib fastened tight and listen to the pre race instruction. We encourage everyone to listen while the course description is being given. The course will be marked but we want to answer any questions before the start. We will also try and have volunteers on the course to ensure you stay on the correct trail.
Course
Racers will toe the line starting at the south end of the Mt. Ogden Park. Runners will make a quick transition from Mt. Ogden Park into Marquardt Park and follow the creek southeast until they reach the trail. The trail will join a service road heading south until it reaches the 36th street trailhead. From the 36th street trailhead, follow the single track up towards Strong’s canyon. After crossing the first bridge take the first left onto the lower foothill loop trail (Gib’s Loop) and head north to 29th street trailhead. Once at 29th street trail head take a quick hydration break this is the ONLY AIDE STATION on the race course. After leaving the aid station, run south on the upper “Gib’s Loop” until you reach Strongs’ canyon. Take a left and climb up Strongs’ canyon until you reach the Bonneville Shore Line (BST) trail intersection. From this intersection take the BST south out of Strongs’ canyon and follow the double track/service road south until it dead ends in the neighborhood. At the dead end/gate, take a left onto the single track and head up hill to the next intersection where you will take a left and head back towards Strong’s Canyon. Enter the canyon and take a left. Descend the canyon until you reach the first bridge and veer left onto the service road which will lead you back to the 36th street trail head. From the 36th street trail head run north on the service road and head back to the start finish area.

The course is not closed to the public so you will still see people on the trail. Please be courteous and kind. The course is primarily single track and a little fire road. There are no mile markers, no screaming fans and absolutely no cars. Please visit the website to get some detailed information of the course
Odds and Ends
Looking at the weather, it appears to be sunny and warm. There will be only one aid station on the course so bring a water bottle if you are not a fan of the heat or if you are a slower runner.
First and foremost, this race is for you. We want everyone to come and have a great time. In doing so we ask that you please respect the trails and the entire mountain.
If you are caught littering you will be removed from the race. There are trash cans and bags so please do not drop trash, chances are it is lighter after you use it anyway- i.e. gels and bars.
Please stay on the course, it will be marked. There is no prize money so there is no need to cut the course.
Make sure your race bib is visible.
Race distances are not exact- there may be a little (.something) but hey, they are trail races.
Please be nice and considerate to the volunteers, they are just that- VOLUNTEERS. They are there for you and without them this race would not be possible.
Like we mentioned earlier, this is a trail race and there will not be mile markers.
If you decide you want to run with your dog, they are allowed but they must be leashed. It is the law anyway…right?
Lastly- if you have friends or family that want to run, they can register race morning. If you know of someone who needs to register make sure they are there early so we can get them signed up and started on time.
There will also be refreshments at the finish.
