Ute 100 Mile & 50 Mile

Nestled among Utah's majestic landscapes, the Ute 100 and its companion race, the UTE 50, offer runners an unparalleled adventure through the La Sal Mountains. This single-loop course is renowned for its breathtaking scenery and challenging terrain, making it one of the most spectacular trail races in the United States.
The full 100-mile event ascends to elevations above 8,700 feet on average, with a total elevation gain and loss of approximately 24,000 feet. This grueling route winds through rugged terrain, offering panoramic views that will leave participants awestruck at every turn. The race is not for the faint-hearted but rewards those who take it on with unforgettable vistas and an exhilarating sense of accomplishment.
For runners seeking a more manageable challenge, the 50-mile option provides all the scenic beauty of its longer counterpart in a slightly less daunting package. With over 10,000 feet of elevation gain, this half-loop course still delivers stunning views and challenging climbs through some of Utah's most pristine wilderness areas.
The race starts and finishes at La Sal Loop Road near Miners Basin Road, approximately a 30-minute drive from Moab. The area offers ample parking right next to the start line, making it convenient for participants to gear up before heading into the mountains.
Moab serves as the nearest town with an abundance of lodging options, ranging from hotels and motels to campgrounds in the surrounding areas. Mason Draw Campground is just a mile away from the race site, offering basic facilities such as vault toilets and picnic tables but no water supply. For those looking for more amenities, Warner Lake campground provides 19 sites with picnic tables and fire rings at an elevation of 9,400 feet among dense aspen trees.
Participants can also choose to camp in dispersed areas throughout the La Sal Mountains or reserve a site at Warner Lake ahead of time. Detailed information about camping options is available upon request via email from race organizers.
