ABOUT THE RACE

A premier Wasatch trail destination defined by flowing, runnable alpine terrain and meaningful elevation, where big mountain challenge feels rhythmic and achievable, rewarding every effort with breathtaking views, diverse ecosystems, and a race that feels as good to run as it does to finish.

Inspired by Snowbasin's real-life moose statue, an iconic gathering place that captures the community‑driven, family‑friendly spirit of race weekend. Built around Snowbasin’s lift‑accessible, spectator‑friendly terrain and the energetic mountain culture of Ogden, this welcoming hub invites runners, families, and supporters to connect, cheer, and celebrate together. A spot to rally before the start, meet mid‑mountain to encourage your runner, or share stories after the finish!

Few races connect the thrill of alpine adventure with the welcoming charm of Ogden like Snowbasin by UTMB. Just minutes from the start line, historic 25th Street offers family-friendly dining, live music, and a vibrant outdoor culture rooted in Olympic heritage, turning race weekend into a relaxed, mountain-to-metro Wasatch experience everyone can enjoy.

Through UTMB Cares, we have set out to achieve something extraordinary by caring for the amazing environments that host our trail events. UTMB Cares is a program of The IRONMAN Foundation. Since 2003, over $55 million has been provided through IRONMAN and IRONMAN Foundation charitable giveback programs to more than 10,000 local, regional, national, and global nonprofit initiatives. Including $50,000 in grant funding for clean-up and restoration efforts of the Western States Trail, enjoyed by The Canyons Endurance Runs by UTMB® runners, in partnership with Western States Endurance Run and The Tevis Cup. Together, we are on a quest to engage our community and care for our race surroundings through grant funding and volunteerism efforts.
