Challenge yourself in one of these 2019 inaugural trail races! We offer a 50K with close to 11K vert, a 27K with close to 6400 vert! A 50 mile race will be added in 2020. Trail races are ran on and all over the beautiful single-track trails and a dirt service road of Bald Mountain at the Sun Valley Resort. You will see crazy amazing views of the mountains surrounding the Sun Valley Resort. Be prepared though for some serious climbing….and bombing down steep trails.
Course Summary
50K: Runners begin at the Warm Springs Plaza and head up Machine Road on the side of the mountain and connect to the Traverse Trail. Runners will turn left on the Traverse Trail and take another left onto the Bald Mountain Trail. After taking pics from the BLM Scenic Overlook, runners will bomb down the trail to the River Run Aid Station. (4.25 miles)
Leaving the River Run Aid Station, runners will head up the Service Road and hook onto the Traverse Trail. At the intersection of the Traverse Trail and Bald Mountain Trail, runners will turn left onto the Bald Mountain Trail. This trail takes you all over the mountain weaving across the service road a couple of times until you get to the Lookout Restaurant. From the restaurant, runners will continue down the service road to the Broadway Aid Station. (10 miles)
Leaving the Broadway Aid Station, runners will follow Upper Broadway Trail all the way back to the Lookout Restaurant and turn left onto a roller coasting trail that heads downhill and connects back with the Traverse Trail. Runners will again run up the Bald Mountain Trail, pass the BLM Scenic Overlook (you may be to tired for pics this time) and down into the River Run Aid Station. (16.5 miles)
Runners will follow the same route as before to the Broadway Aid Station. (22.3 miles) This time, runners will take the long, winding Warm Springs Trail back to the finish. An extra aid station will be put in approximately 3-4 miles before the finish. TBD where.
