Experience the Bryce Canyon Ultras, a high-elevation trail race that takes athletes through the breathtaking landscape of Utah's iconic hoodoos. Choose from challenging distances of 50 miles (80.5 km), 60K, 50K, and 30K as you tackle the rugged terrain ranging from 7,000 to 9,000 feet (2,130–2,740 meters). The course winds along the Paunsaugunt Plateau offering panoramic views above Bryce Canyon’s stunning spires and through dense pine forests. Prepare for steep climbs, forest roads, and exhilarating singletrack descents. The remote setting and early morning start create an intense, immersive atmosphere, driven by a passionate trail-running community. As part of the Ultra Adventures series, this event combines bucket-list landscapes with demanding courses. An intimate pre-race expo and a scenic post-race atmosphere complete the unforgettable experience.

You'll be required to have your own cup for water, Gnarly, and/or soda at the aid stations (e.g. a Nathan reusable cup, a handheld water bottle, a bladder system, etc.).

Nature of these courses
We want to be very clear that these races do NOT take place inside National Park boundaries. We don't want you to be disappointed or have the wrong expectations. The courses are beautiful and scenic, and we strongly encourage you to spend time inside the park before and after the event, but the races themselves take place outside park boundaries. In addition, although we do our best to plan and prepare so we run the courses we've indicated on the website, due to the nature of permitting, working with rural land owners, and other conditions which are outside our control, courses are always subject to change. In the case of a necessary alteration, we'll try our best to find a similar course in terms of scenery, location, and difficulty/terrain.
The race information has been found on the official website of the event or through publicly available sources. Always refer to the official website the latest race information. Please let us know if any data is wrong or missing, by emailing us.
