Vacation Races - Zion Ultras

Zion Ultras, run by Vacation Races, take place at Ruby Rider Ranch in Apple Valley, Utah, just outside Zion National Park. The event spans five distances: 100 Mile, 100K, 60K, 30K, and Trail Half Marathon. Runners traverse a challenging dirt-trail course through the Southern Utah desert, offering panoramic views of Zion’s thousand-foot sandstone cliffs and dramatic mesas.

Courses include segments around Wire Mesa and Gooseberry Mesa, Virgin Desert, and Smith Mesa. Notable features include cup-free racing, well-stocked aid stations, charity bib options via Wander Project, and on-site camping at Ruby Rider Ranch with an expo.
