Gib Wallace Memorial Race

The Ogden Trail Running Festival is honored to host the annual Gib Wallace Memorial Trail Races. Gib Wallace has been instrumental in designing, developing, constructing and maintaining our wonderful trails network and can be considered one of the “Fathers of Ogden Trails”.

To celebrate Ogden’s rad urban trails we are adding in a challenging 10 mile trail race to the Ogden Trail Running Festival weekend. The combination of course length, climbing, and technical terrain in Beus canyon will make an ideal challenge for both the speedsters and the grinders.

The course will be marked with pink ribbon and critical intersections will be manned by course marshals. We will provide a water only aid station at the Beus Canyon TH.

The 4 miler will begin at Mt Ogden park, run south on single track and double track that parallel the golf course until you reach the 36th street trailhead. From 36th street TH run East on a short section of singletrack and then a short section of service road until you take a right on a singletrack connector trail that will roll over to the Discovery Trail. Take a left and climb the 4 steps and run the Discovery Loop. After completing the Discovery Loop you retrace your route back to the runners expo at Mt. Ogden park.
