Races

  • 50 Mile

    Incl. $9.45 Fee & T-Shirt (Select a Size)

    Sat 20th September 2025 (5:30AM EDT)

    $259.45

    The 50 miler starts at the mouth of Proctor Canyon and climbs 700 ft. over 2 miles on doubletrack up to Proctor Canyon Aid Station (mile 2.1). From there, the route follows the Grandview Trail south for 3 miles on singletrack, climbing an additional 1,000 ft. to an unmanned water station (mile 5.2), where the route then breaks off the Grandview Trail and doubles back, heading north to the Blue Fly Aid Station (mile 8.9) up onto the rim of the plateau. There is approximately 800 ft. of vertical gain and loss over this section through a gorgeous hoodoo amphitheater. After Blue Fly aid, the route heads inland on a doubletrack that heads northeast on a gradual downhill slope to Johnson Hollow Water Station (mile 15.6). Runners will continue on for another 3 miles to an aid station near the East Fork of the Sevier River in the center of the plateau. From East Fork Aid (mile 18.2), youll continue northwest on doubletrack that takes you back towards the edge of the plateau. After the aid station at Coyote Hollow Trailhead (mile 24.5), runners hop on the famous Thunder Mountain Trail. The first 4 miles of this trail climb up and down a series of about a dozen small ridges, each with about a hundred feet of climb and descent. It then steeply drops through a series of hoodoos on what is likely the most photographed section of the course. This section of trail can also be a bit slippery on the steeper sections, as there is often a tiny gravel layer that sits on top of the hard pack trail and can cause runners to lose their footing. When the Thunder Mountain Trail Ts into the Grandview Trail (approximately mile 31), take a right and head north to the Red Canyon Aid Station (mile 32.4). From here runners will head out for a 5 mile loop on the spectacular Golden Wall Trail. There is about 1,400 ft. of climbing and descent on this section. After passing through Red Canyon Aid Station a second time (mile 37.6), the route heads south along the Grandview Trail 5 miles to an aid station in Hillsdale Canyon (mile 42.9). Although this appears to be a comparatively mild section along the bottom of the plateau, this terrain is relentless with constant ups and downs- there is still over 800 ft. of climbing! The next section is similar, climbing over a series of small ridges in the foothills that ends up being more than a thousand feet of climbing over 7 miles to Proctor Canyon aid station (mile 48.7). From here, it is all downhill to the finish line at the pond at the bottom of the canyon.
