#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 2026 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. 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. Registered runners can pick up their bibs and shirts on Wednesday, July 22 from 4 PM – 9 PM, and Thursday July 23 from 9 AM – 8 PM at the Provo Freedom Stake Center (835 South 500 West, Provo) as well as 6:30 AM on race day at the finish area located at 50 East 100 South, Provo.
Transportation & Parking
We have arranged for buses to start at 6:30 AM at the finish line and transport participants as close to the starting line as possible. Provo/Orem’s UVX runs past the MTC and has stops along the race route. This is a great way to park and travel 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 Utah County buildings and the parking areas around BYU and near the starting line. Please do not block driveways and be mindful of No Parking zones. The buses will run until 10 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, Provo.
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 10,000 people this year. Please help us to keep the course safe by following these guidelines. PLEASE keep youngsters on scooters near you. Ninety percent 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 Drive and 1200 East. This is the northeast corner of the Rock Canyon Temple site. Please allow plenty of time to get to the starting area. We ask that you queue up to the starting area via North Temple Drive and 1060 East. At 6:30 AM, access to North Temple Drive from 900 East to 1200 East will be closed.
What You Get
FREE Registration – Commemorative Temple to Temple race bib.
$12 Registration – Commemorative Temple to Temple race bib and cotton T-shirt.
$20 Registration – Commemorative Temple to Temple race bib and Performance Tek shirt (sleeved or sleeveless).
Thanks To Our Donors
We would like to thank LDS Bookstore, Race Entry, Franz Bakery, and Utah Barricade for helping again with our race this year.
