The deal

Fun run. Not a race.

Think of it as a long group run with a very specific snack plan. We start together, run together, eat donuts together, and finish together.

Nobody wins

No chip timing, no results, no podium, no medals. The whole group runs a chill 8:30 pace.

Donuts provided

Every stop, on us. Your only job is picking a flavor (or three).

Unofficial

Unsanctioned and unsupported. No permits, road closures, aid stations or sag wagon. Bring your own water and fuel.

25 spots

Small group, good vibes. First come, first glazed.

The route

Six shops. One big loop.

Lehi → Alpine → Highland → American Fork → Lehi → Saratoga Springs, then a flat cruise up the Jordan River Parkway to the finish. Yes, that's three Lehi Bakeries.

FAQ

Good questions.

Is this a race?

Nope. No timing, no results, no prizes. If you want to race, there are plenty of real marathons. This one has donuts.

What if 8:30 feels fast?

That's why we ask for a recent marathon time. The group sticks together at 8:30, so make sure that feels comfortable for 26 miles.

Do I have to eat a donut at every stop?

Legally, no. Spiritually, yes.

When exactly? Where do I park?

Early March 2027. Everyone who signs up gets the exact date, start time and parking details by email.

Is there support on the course?

No. There are no aid stations, road closures, sag wagon or medical support. Carry what you need, follow traffic laws, and look out for each other. You're running at your own risk.

What will the weather be like?

It's early March in Utah County, so anywhere from 25° and snowing to 60° and sunny. Possibly both. Dress in layers.
