Vacation Races - Zion Ultras

Zion Ultras, a Vacation Races event, is held at Ruby Rider Ranch in Apple Valley, Utah, just southeast of Zion National Park. The series offers five distances: 100 Mile, 100K, 60K, 30K, and a Trail Half Marathon. Runners tackle challenging dirt-trail courses through the Southern Utah desert, with sweeping views of thousand-foot sandstone cliffs and desert mesas.

Highlights include rugged singletrack on Gooseberry Mesa and Wire Mesa, a cup-free environment, and well-stocked aid stations with water and nutrition. For ultras, crew and pacers are allowed at select points, and finishers receive a hand-crafted belt buckle (100 mile) or medals. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
