Brian Head trailfest

SEPTEMBER 18, 2027

BRIAN HEAD, UT

The Brian Head 50K is a looped course that takes you up and down ski slopes, across cruisy ridgelines, past an alpine lake, on gnarly doubletrack, and summits the highest peak in the area. Views of redrock complement the autumn alpine scenery. 

BRIAN HEAD TRAILFEST

The 30K is the sub ultramarathon distance that also starts and ends at the bottom of the slopes. Singletrack ridgeline running, redrock, autumn colors, and a rewarding summit also included.
