It might very well be the only race where you can see wild elk, black bears, rattle snakes, lizards, 300+ year old juniper trees, aspens, fir trees, high alpine flowers, old mining sites, Canyonlands and Arches National Park, and Castle Valley. The UTE 100 mile trail race is 30 minutes from downtown Moab, Utah. 20,000 ft gain/20,000 ft loss.

THE HIGHEST RACE Outside of Colorado of any distance or discipline in North America. Topping out on this point right here, Manns Peak at 12,272 ft. You’ll run out a scree ridge for a mile past this before dropping back below treeline. The lowest point on the race is about 7,000 ft or so. You will pass over 6 passes above 10,000 ft. An 86 mile loop with a 7 mile out and back at the beginning. This race has 80 + miles of single track,about 10 miles of double track, the rest dirt road. You will see the sun rise over the San Juan Mountains and the Hardrock course then watch it set over Arches and Canyonlands National Park. All but 10 miles of this had never had any permitted races on it.
