Description of Race Events

This race is located near Liberty. But the liberation only begins there and will continue for the next 26.2 miles as you take one step at a time up the punishing, unforgiving, and ridiculously beautiful trail. You’ll ride the pain and exhilaration like a sadistic roller coaster all the way across the Ben Lomond Trail, up and over a highpoint of 8,743 feet, then down into the Eden Valley, before hitting the homestretch along the shimmering shores of Pineview Reservoir. All told, it’s nearly a mile each of vertical ascent and descent.

Imagine this: No crowds cheering for you, no rock bands, no aid stations every two miles (though we do manage to get four in there for you), no pre-race expo, no support vehicles, no whiners. Just ankle-busting trails, snakes, a moose or two and brutal terrain. Sound like heaven? We agree.
The Half Marathon, or Half +1 as we like to call it because it is 14.1 miles, will start at the top of the North Ogden Divide.
Registration is limited to 200 runners for 2011. Register early to insure your place is saved. Please remember a portion of your entry fee will be donated to Ogden Nordic. This is a great way to give back to the trails you love.
