Utah Runner Girls Alpine Half Marathon, 5K, and Princess Run is now open! New changes to the Alpine Course! Starting at the top of Suncrest running down into Alpine. Beautiful course! Register Here
It wasn't that long ago that it was believed that women couldn't run this far or that it was "bad" for women to push the limits. Thanks to some amazing running pioneer women, we get to not only run races, but have our very own women races!
This one’s for the ladies! The Utah Runner Girls Half Marathon & 5K are races designed specifically with all you runner girls in mind. Everything from the finisher necklace bling, to the treats along the course; did someone say chocolate?
We have some unbelievable sponsors that have been generous with prizes for raffles. After the race, come and join us for the expotique to shop around, grab some post race grub, and simply soak up all the glory of kicking some major butt after running 13.1 miles or a super sweet 5K!
This all women's race will benefit and give donations to Autism awareness
through a local Autistic foundation.
"Thank you for doing such a great job with this half and 5k. It is a wonderful cause. I look forward to next year and many more to come. Thank you again. PS. Love the shirts and finisher medal!!"
"I loved this race so much, it encouraged me to keep running, despite my age and health condition. I especially was touched by the man who kicked off the race this morning. I have a sister who was born with Cerebral Palsy, not the same as Autism, but I have very tender feelings, great love and respect for those special souls among us. That man brought tears to my eyes (luckily I had my sunglasses on). Thank you for organizing this meaningful race for such a noble cause. May the Lord bless you!"
Here are some photos of our past events:

Utah Runner Girls Half Marathon and 5K will be donating a portion of proceeds to the Eaton Alliance Foundation. We are so excited and thrilled to be able to run for Autism, and donate money to this great charity.
Eaton Alliance is dedicated to change the future for all that struggle with Autism Spectrum Disorders. An estimated 1 out of 70 boys is diagnosed on the Autism Spectrum nationally, and in Utah that number is even higher. Many Utah families are impacted by Autism; these families need all the support and help they can get and we are happy and honored to raise money for this cause!
Eaton Alliance is a human service provider, founded in 2004. They serve people with Autism and other intellectual disabilities, using several different programs based on the needs of the individual and their families. Such programs include assistance in group homes, independent living situations, family supports, and a summer program. Eaton Alliance Foundation is excited to announce our newest program, Kids' Night Out, which they plan to have in place by the end of 2012.
From Eaton Alliance Foundation:
"Kids' Night Out is a monthly activity designed to provide a fun and safe environment for individuals with disabilities. Our goal is to provide a fun activity with proper staffing at an affordable rate to allow parents a much needed, worry-free Date Night. For every $30 we receive, we will be able to sponsor one child at our Kids' Night Out program."
For families with Autism children, we know that getting out and enjoying some MOM TIME OUT is not that easy and can be nearly impossible. Eaton Alliance' Kid's Night Out will be able to provide that for those families in need.
The key to an amazing race are great volunteers! They are absolutely essential to make your race a success. We are looking to build our volunteer team with individuals that are willing to give time, encouragement, and support our runners along the way and on race day! And what do you get in return you ask? An awesome volunteer T-shirt, necklace, swag bag, and post race food at the finishline! Oh..and the most important thing...the satisfaction of helping those awesome gals accomplish their goal! Priceless:)
We also LOVE cheer groups, dance groups, sports teams, and scouts as volunteers! If your group is looking for some service, we would love to have you!
