Many of you have likely heard of an ultra marathon, what is an ultra half marathon? Well, an ultra marathon is anything longer than 26.2 miles, a ultra half marathon is anything longer than a 13.1 miles (it makes sense in our mind). Don’t worry though, the Outlaw in only about 1.4 miles longer than a true half marathon; no need to sweat. We love running trails and want to share one of our favorites with you. There is nothing better than “mostly” gradual downhill ultra half marathon to introduce people to the trials. Whether you are new to running, new to trials, or an experienced ultra-trail runner, this course is fun and beautiful.
The Outlaw Trail Ultra Half Marathon features a point to point course, mostly downhill run starting high up at the Diamondfield Jack Campground and running north down to the Third Fork Campground. The first 3 miles takes place on a the Deadline Ridge Road, a rough jeep/ATV trail; the final 10+ miles are on sweet single-track trail.
The name of the race “The Outlaw” refers to Diamondfield Jack who was considered one of the area’s first outlaws. The start of the race takes place at Diamondfield Jack Campground.
Our Goal is to challenge and help everyone who desires it to run at least one trail ultra marathon in their lives. The Outlaw is a race that introduces runners to the trail with a shorter distance and easier elevation profile.
Race is capped at 400 runners. 15% of the registration fees will be donated to the Xavier Middle and High School cross country teams.

This race has a lot of technical spots. The single track was overgrown and hid a lot of trippers. Never fell but sure did stumble my way through. The description of the race was good. What saved me was the lack of time limit , because with each stumble I found myself going slower. That’s because I am old and trying to stay upright became my main goal
