Antelope Canyon Ultras

The Antelope Canyon Ultras returns to Page, Arizona on Saturday, March 6th, 2027 with its signature blend of rugged desert terrain and panoramic vistas that have made it a destination event for ultramarathon runners seeking an unforgettable experience. The race takes place at the Page Sports Complex, located along Haul Road in Page's scenic outskirts.
On race morning, participants will gather on the firm yet slightly soft trail conditions that are typical for March in this region of Arizona. Runners can expect mild temperatures around 7 AM with a UV index forecasted to be moderate at level 4.0, necessitating adequate hydration and sun protection as they prepare to tackle challenging terrain.
Since its inception, the Antelope Canyon Ultras has become an integral part of Page's annual sporting calendar, attracting hundreds of runners from across the country each year. The event supports local charities through a charity bib program that allows participants to raise funds for nonprofit organizations while their registration fees are waived. This initiative underscores the race’s commitment to fostering community engagement and supporting charitable causes.
The course venue features a diverse landscape with vast desert crossings, slot canyons, towering sandstone walls, and sweeping mesa views. The terrain includes deep sand, technical scrambles up ladders, slickrock paths through Antelope Canyon and Deer Canyon, as well as climbs like White Cone that offer far-reaching vistas of iconic landmarks such as Horseshoe Bend and Marble Canyon.
All distances start at the Page Sports Complex with staggered start times to ensure smooth race management. The 50 Mile and 55K races begin promptly at 5:00 AM Mountain Time, followed by the 30K race starting an hour later at 7:00 AM, and finally the Trail Half Marathon kicking off at 8:00 AM.
Weather conditions in March are generally mild to cool with a UV index of moderate level 4.0 around mid-morning, requiring runners to stay hydrated and protected from sun exposure while navigating challenging terrain throughout the day’s race events.
