#TempleToTemple5k

Largest Race in Utah!

We’d like to thank Provo City and BYU for allowing us to continue this annual tradition. Permits are secured, and registration is now open. Help us hit our goal of 25,000 participants! That’s right, 25,000! With your help, we can be the largest 5k race in the United States!

Registration Details & Information

Registration for the 2023 Temple to Temple Run is open. Each participant is required to register whether you are an elite runner or a family that prefers to walk the race route. As always, registration is 100% FREE. Prior to race day, each registered runner will receive a race bib, which you must wear in order to participate on race day. We have streamlined the process for participants to pick up bibs and t-shirts. These items will be available on Saturday, July 22nd from 9am – 9pm at the Provo Freedom Stake Center (835 S 500 W, Provo) as well as 6am on race day at the starting line.

Transportation & Parking

This year, we have arranged for buses to start at 6:00 am at the finish line and transport participants to the starting line. Provo/Orem’s UVX runs very near the start and has stops along the race route. This is a great way to park and travel free to the starting area, then jump back on and ride back to your vehicle. We encourage you to use the parking areas in the downtown Provo area, including the County Buildings, and the parking areas around the Provo Temple, near the starting line. The buses will run until 10:30 am, after the race to transport drivers back to the starting line to retrieve vehicles. The pick up and drop off areas will be at the corner of 100 East and 200 South.

Important Info

The race will begin at 8 am. We will be staggering start times due to the number of people that are participating. Groups that include participants pushing strollers, pulling wagons and those on scooters or using other wheeled forms of transportation, will be asked to wait until the majority of the runners and non wheeled participants have cleared the starting area. We are expecting over 8,000 people this year. Please help us to keep the course safe by following these guidelines. PLEASE PLEASE keep youngster on scooters near you. 90% of lost children and injuries in past years have been the result of scooter riders. If this year isn’t better, we will be forced to ban scooters from the race route.

The starting line is near the corner of North Temple Dr (2300 North) and 1200 East. This is the Northeast corner of the Provo Temple. Please allow plenty of time to get to the starting area. We ask that you queue up to the starting area via Temple View Drive, 2300 North 1060 East. At 6:30 am, access to North Temple Dr from 900 E to 1200 East will be closed.

Message From Provo Freedom and Provo South Stake

President Michael Merz of the Provo Freedom Stake is encouraging each participant to invite (and bring) one new friend, family member, coworker, etc, to run this year. He also hopes that every runner will continue the tradition by running or walking in honor of an ancestor. If you have any questions, please contact us.
