Course & Travel Notes
The May the Fourth Race Half Marathon, 10K, and 5K take place in Farmington, Utah on May 1st, 2027, with an evening start at 6:00 PM—so you'll be racing under the lights rather than at sunrise. The venue sits at 4,311 feet elevation, which is moderate enough that most runners acclimate fairly quickly, though it's worth arriving a day or two early if you're coming from sea level. You'll fly into Hill Air Force Base, just 10.9 miles away, making logistics pretty straightforward. Expect typical early May weather with highs around 77°F and lows near 47°F, and plan for the possibility of rain on about a quarter of the days, so pack layers and a light rain jacket just in case.
