50/100 Mile Course Narrative: If you have run either the 50 mile or 100 mile in the past, the actual course remains the same, but the order in which you run the trails will be different. The start is at the marina. You will go about 11.5 miles straight south to the Ranch. After reaching the Ranch, you will turn around and run back up the Mountain View Trail to the fence. Turn left at the fence and run up the hill and along the dirt road next to the fence. Follow the dirt road as it sweeps right. There will be a short section of pavement before you head out on the Lakeside trail over to the next aid station at Bridger Bay campground. Continue around the Lakeside trail and down the dirt road over to the White Rock Bay trailhead. Run the trail out to the Elephant Head aid station, the out and back on the Elephant Head trail, then continue around the Split Rock Loop and back to Elephant Head aid. After that run back to the White Rock Bay trailhead. Turn right and follow the fence back down to the Mountain View trail. Turn left and run back to the marina. If you’re running the 100 mile, go out and do it again.

Utah is a great place for runners and this is one of the many races that makes that environment. As a first time trail runner the 25K at a place that offers longer runs gave me a nice intro into the trail and ultra running community. On the positive side the views are pretty unique and the difficulty is relatively low for trail ultras in Utah. On the negative side having to repeat loops for longer distances isn’t for everyone. I’m thinking of doing a 50k on Antelope Island in the future and can recommend this race. The director has been dedicated to running and the Utah outdoors for a long time so kudos to Jim and his crew for that.
