We had 75% finish rate!

52 Female Finishers (new record)

183 Male Finishers (new record)

235 Total Finishers (new record)

2023 Registration is open for our 25th Anniversary!

(UPDATE) – The race filled in 2.5 days and the waitlist grew to 400 by Jan 3rd. It is now over 500. It is unlikely that anyone who registered to join the waitlist after Feb 1 will get in. But, you never know.

The race begins at the mouth of Logan Dry Canyon, on the east bench of Logan, Utah. There are dozens of hotels within ten minutes of the start. Logan is a medium-sized university city with all the amenities you need, including an outdoor/running shop or two. It is less than two hours from the Salt Lake City International Airport.

2023 Race Date/Time: September 29-30, 2023 06:00 Start Time (Friday Start)

Awards

All entrants will receive a beautiful tech shirt with a distinctive design. Finishers receive an engraved plaque indicating the date of the event and their finish time and place.
