About the race

Set at Zion Ponderosa Ranch Resort just outside Zion National Park in Orderville, Utah, the Ponderosa Polar Challenge offers a winter endurance weekend where participants choose their distance from 1 mile to 150 miles within a 52-hour time limit. Runners navigate three loop options—1-, 3-, and 5-mile courses—that can be completed in either direction. The event emphasizes movement, adventure, and community over speed, with a family-friendly vibe and on-site lodging and camping included for all entrants.

The weekend includes meals for longer distances; shorter distances may opt in for extra meals. Proceeds support dog rescues and a trail-maintenance group, honoring two adventurers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
