Runners will begin their 100 and 50 mile adventure just before the sun rises over the La Sals, illuminating the beauty of the desert below! Runners will gently descend along the Kokopelli Trail before connecting to the world famous Lower Porcupine Single-track. As the sun begins to rise, the runnable ascent along the Lower and Upper Porcupine has the most incredible views of Castle Valley and the epic peaks of the La Sals. After resupplying at the Hazardous Aid Station, runners will begin the challenging Mann’s Peak climb to the highest point in the race at 12,272′! The views from the top will definitely be worth it! If lightning is present, runners will bypass Mann’s Peak and continue on Burro Pass trail. The course continues down beautiful Burro Pass to the Geyser Aid Station. From the Geyser Aid Station, runners will begin a slow descent along the Dark Canyon Road. The many miles along this scenic road are fast and provide a reprieve from the Mann’s Peak climb. The South Mountain Aid Station, at 10,200′, is a great place meet your crew before the eleven mile loop on varied terrain around South Mountain. Upon return to the aid station, runners will gently descend the La Sal Pass Road and connect to the Squaw Spring trail. The climb back to the Geyser Aid Station offers varied terrain and incredible views of Moab and Canyonlands National Park below. The Moonlight Meadows single-track back to the Hazardous Aid Station includes many river crossing and stunning wildflowers. The climb up to Gold Knob is steep but worth the view at the top. This view at 11,000′ encapsulates the spirit of the Ute 100! The decent to the finish line is rocky and technical but the views of the Castle Valley towers below will welcome you to the finish line!
