The Bryce Canyon Ultras take runners through the northern half and western edge of the Paunsaugunt Plateau, with courses that weave through hoodoos, forests, canyons, and open high country. Along the way, runners will experience views both across the plateau and down into the hoodoo-filled landscape below.
The courses are also defined by the elevation. Most miles are between 7,000 and 9,000 feet, adding another layer of challenge to the climbs and long stretches of trail. Runners can expect a mix of smooth and rugged surfaces, rolling terrain, and constantly changing scenery as the course moves between the plateau rim and the surrounding landscape.
The Bryce Canyon Ultras offer a challenging mountain experience in one of southern Utah’s most distinctive landscapes.
