The Spitfire Ultra Trail Challenge (formerly known as the Menan Butte Trail Challenge) was created as an invitation to challenge yourself in a unique geological setting that has everything from sand, volcanic rock, slick rock, sage brush and possible wildlife. The run takes place at the North Menan Butte, an extinct volcano that was formed by violent eruptions 10,000 years ago. You will be blown away by the variety of sights and surfaces to be found as you traverse its west and east sides, run its rim and down through its heart.
Why the Spitfire Ultra:
* High energy early season race!
* Great elevation practice for summer races!
* Unique race with amazing views!
* Fun Environment to experience trail running for the 1st time or the 50th!
* Variety of surfaces…sand, rocks, dirt and technical footing.
* Dance on the rims and in the belly of the worlds largest tuffed volcano!
* Supportive race environment with amazing volunteer and staff who care about your journey!
* Did we mention the Race Director?
We invite you to “Run Your Ash Off” and battle the volcano for bragging rights, as you test your mettle and forge your character this April!

My first Ultra race and it was difficult (for me), but very enjoyable. Scenery was fantastic and would do it again. The staff running the event was top notch. Although it was a bit cold, I warmed up quickly with the first climb. Worth doing again.
