The tips included a description of a man who was seen in the area shortly after the attack, police said. That description matched the one given by the victim.
A police artist put a sketch together with the help of the person who reported seeing the man, police said.
The attack occurred where the trail nears 970 West and 800 North. The rapist ran off, police reported.
The man was described as white with an olive skin tone and no facial hair in his early to mid-20s. He was described as having a boxer-type athletic build, muscular, wearing dark gray fleece gloves, a black hoodie and dark gray baggy sweat bottoms with a white drawstring.
Anyone who thinks they might recognize the man from the sketch is asked to call 801-852-7328.
