Round Valley Rambler 1/2 Marathon

COURSE DESCRIPTION: The ROUND VALLEY RAMBLER TRAIL HALF MARATHON is the first race in the Triple Trail Challenge. 100% of the course takes place on prime, buff single and double track in Round Valley, which sits at an altitude between 6,500’ and 7,100’. While athletes will find the trails foot-friendly, the rolling, high-desert terrain presents a few long and steady climbs followed by fast downhills. The Round Valley Rambler is a stout trail half and serves as a reality check for athletes preparing for the other Triple Trail Challenge races.

COURSE DESCRIPTION: The JUPITER PEAK 25K is a Park City favorite. Bringing elite athletes as well as weekend warriors to Park City, this 16 mile mountain race presents a serious challenge. Runners start at the Park City Mountain Resort, ascend up to Jupiter peak and down to the finish at the Silver Star Cafe. With an elevation profile that resembles an inverted “V” and over 3000 feet of gain, we feel confident calling this a true mountain race. As the second stop in the Triple Trail Challenge, this is one that cannot be overlooked.

The MID MOUNTAIN 50K starts with a loop at Deer Valley resort. It then follows the Mid Mountain Trail, winding down through the Utah Olympic Park trail system to finish at the bottom of the Nordic jumps at the Utah Olympic Park. The course, rolling across the Wasatch Back through aspen and evergreen forests, is largely shaded single-track. The Mid Mountain 50K embodies the essence of mountain trail running with intermittent technical sections, a few sustained climbs, and fast downhills.

The course is subject to change as required by landowners. If any changes are required, they will be announced to all race participants via email.

The first several miles of the course are on one of Deer Valley’s downhill mountain bike trails. We have been given special permission to use that trail on race day. Please do not attempt to run on the trail during training as it is typically a bike-only trail.
