About This Event
Set at the heart of Snowbasin Resort in Utah's Northern Wasatch, this alpine retreat offers a refined trail running experience framed by sweeping ridgelines, forested slopes, and expansive views stretching toward the Great Salt Lake. The thoughtful, boutique-scale event creates an atmosphere that feels welcoming and deeply connected to the Wasatch landscape, where flowing, runnable trails wind through sagebrush, aspen groves, evergreen forests, and open mountain terrain. Beyond the trails, the weekend transitions seamlessly from mountain to metro. Just minutes from the start, the vibrant city of Ogden offers curated dining, live music, and a thriving outdoor community rooted in Olympic history. The event emerges as a premier Wasatch destination, blending big mountain energy with runnable alpine terrain and refined details designed for runners who seek more than just a race. Built around Snowbasin's lift-accessible, spectator-friendly terrain and Ogden's energetic mountain culture, the race creates a welcoming hub where runners, families, and supporters can connect and celebrate together. The iconic moose statue serves as a gathering place that captures the community-driven, family-friendly spirit of race weekend.

59K
The 59K route utilizes Snowbasin Resort's trail network, combining lift-served ski runs converted to summer singletrack with backcountry trails extending into adjacent national forest lands. Runners encounter mixed terrain throughout—sections of smooth, flowing trail alternate with technical rocky zones requiring focused footwork. The course takes advantage of the resort's ridgeline geography, providing extended periods above treeline where views stretch across the Wasatch Range and into the Great Salt Lake basin. Pacing requires attention to terrain variation rather than relying on consistent grade or surface. Strategic aid station placement follows UTMB standards, though runners should carry adequate water and nutrition between supported sections, particularly during mid-route backcountry segments where station spacing increases.
