Big Cottonwood Canyon Classic

The Big Cottonwood Canyon Classic is a trail running event held at Brighton and Solitude Resorts in Utah, featuring 15K and 5K races through scenic mountain terrain. Starting at Brighton Ski Resort at about 8,500 feet elevation, the 15K course climbs nearly 1,700 feet, reaching just below 10,000 feet in Honeycomb Canyon, offering challenging elevation gain and stunning views. The 5K also includes significant elevation and rugged trails.

Aid stations provide water, energy drinks, and snacks, with bathrooms available at Solitude’s Moonbeam Lodge. Participants receive a unique race shirt, a hat, and nutrition goodies. Awards are given to the top finishers in both distances, making it a rewarding experience for all levels. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
