Runtastic is not liable for the loss or damage of any belongings put in the Drop Bag, left along a course, or at an Aid Station. There is an inherent risk to using the Drop Bag service so please only put items in the bag or leave items at an Aid Station that do not have personal, essential, or great value.

If you lose an item at the race, please visit the Blue Runtastic Information Tent during the event to see if it has been turned in.

DROP AT START—PICK-UP AT FINISH: Announcements will be made to drop your bag at the start line in the designated bins or bag trailer/vehicle 15 minutes before the start of the race and will be taken to the Finish Line Bag Pick-Up Corral. You can retrieve your bag after you finish using your race bib.

MILE MARKER & AID STATION DROP: Please drop unwanted clothing items along the course ONLY in marked bins at Mile Marker 1, Mile Marker 2, Aid Station A (Mile 3), and Aid Station B (Mile 5). Bags and clothing left at an Aid Station Clothing Drop will be taken to the Finish Bag Pick-Up Corral, but may not arrive until close to the end of the event. We are not responsible for any lost items.

Items left along the course and not at a designated drop-off spot will be picked up by the clean-up crew and thrown away or donated.

As a courtesy service, all clothing and bags that are not picked up at the Finish Bag Pick-up Corral during the race will be taken to Runtastic’s main office at 50 North Center St. American Fork, UT 84003.

Clothing and bags can be picked up from that location on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM for the two consecutive weeks following the event. Participants are welcome to come look through the clothing during those times. Runtastic hopes that participants can recover any lost items but does not have the resources to look for items lost.

If you have more questions, please contact us at info@runtasticevents.com. Lost items not claimed after two weeks will be donated to Deseret Industries as a charitable donation.

RYR Pacing

To help our runners achieve their goals we have enlisted the RYR Pacers to pace the half marathon.

At the starting line each pacer will be holding a sign with their pace time on it. The faster the pace the closer to the starting line they will be. Please find your pacer and line up behind them.

This will help all runners be around other runners with similar speeds and keep runners from getting stuck behind slower runners or getting bumped or run over by faster runners.

The 3 hr 15 min pacers will be the last runners on half course. Please maintain their speed to remain on the course.
