In Vineyard

Race Day Transit
Vineyard's FrontRunner station links to Provo and Orem, handy when race traffic and road closures affect the lakefront area.
Spectator Spots
Spectators can gather near the Utah City finish or along the Provo River trail corridor, where runners pass through the canyon mouth.
Lakefront Recovery
Vineyard sits on Utah Lake, so easy shoreline walks and open views of Mount Timpanogos make a gentle recovery day.
