Tooele County is home to the Serengeti/Oquirrh Wave trail system, situated at the feet of the Oquirrh Mountains. These courses will appeal to the beginner and experienced trail runner alike. You will traverse technical atv trails and beautiful single-track; take in sweeping views of the Tooele Valley, Great Salt Lake, and distant Stansbury Mountain Range; and enjoy the beauty and solitude of getting off the asphalt and onto the dirt.
The exact 50k course is still to be determined. It will likely consist of two 25k distance loops – the first loop will be run counterclockwise, with the second loop being run clockwise. There will be a mix of dirt road/ATV trail, double-track, and single-track. The vert will be between 4,000-4,500 ft.
The exact 25k course is still to be determined. It will be the first loop of the 50k course, run in clockwise direction. There will be a mix of dirt road/ATV trail, double-track, and single-track. The vert will be between 2,000-2,200 ft.
The 10k course will take runners up “Puke Ravine”, up the Pole Canyon double-track, down the wooded Pole Canyon trail, down the BBC trail, and back to the Start/Finish Area.
The prices are low – we don’t give out gimmicky race entry bags full of clutter you’ll never use; we don’t hand out finisher’s awards that will end up in a drawer somewhere; and we don’t play thumping music, announce finishers over a PA, or display flashy finish line arches.
The course is where it’s at. Each year, we like to keep things interesting by changing up the course routes! Always with an eye for scenery and the challenge: what will the runner see as they’re flying down wooded single-track or as they crest a tough climb? Would it be more of a challenge to climb a mild dirt road or a rocky, technical ravine trail? Each of these distances will treat you to challenging trail conditions and beautiful views of the surrounding Oquirrh & Stansbury Mountain Ranges, the Tooele Valley, and the Great Salt Lake, with Stansbury Island rising out of it.
