New This Year (2024)
We’re excited to introduce a trail half marathon for 2024. We are currently finalizing the route with the permitting bodies and will post it soon!
Pre Race Details

Pre Race Run/Shakeout
Joey (co-race director) is hosting a shakeout run on Friday with a 1.5 mile and 3 mile option. Super slow and fun. For details, join us in the Wylder App by clicking here. Details will drop Monday.
Salt Lake Foothills 50k + Half Marathon
The foothills of Salt Lake City have inspired thousands of runners to leave the pounding pavement for soft, drifting trails. The trails are lined with beautiful city views on world class routes. But don’t be fooled by the views, the gain/loss is legit and impossible to avoid.
The City of Salt Lake has invested heavily in the foothills trail system and we are honored to help show them off.

FAQs
What is the cutoff time?
6pm for both distances.
50k - 11 hours, Half Marathon - 10 hours
What are the options for crew?
Your friends/crew can come see you at any of the aid stations if you’d like. We just ask that they show courtesy and respect to the areas they’re in. They’ll be driving through neighborhoods and near the University of Utah campus and the University Hospital. We do not guarantee parking availability at the aid stations. There is a chance interested parties will have to walk a good ways on paved sidewalks or roads.
Do you do drop bags?
No
Will the 2024 course be exactly like the 2023 course?
Probably not. It all comes down to permits, trail conditions, etc.
Where exactly is the race going to be?
50k: The race will start and finish at the BoSho trailhead by the Hogle Zoo. Half Marathon: The race will start at Ensign Peak and end at Hogle Zoo. Parking and logistics coming the week of the event.
Who are the race directors?
Josh Rosenthal, Joey Hendrix, and Jared Wright.
What is your refund policy?
50% refund on or before March 1 and no refunds.
We are offering 100% deferrals due to pregnancy.
We’ve run so many races and had to bail on a few without refunds. We are sensitive to this and want to have a reasonable refund policy.
What are the aid stations like?
We will have traditional ultra aid station food that will be a mix of salty and sweet along with Nuun hydration and Seattle Gummies for addition hydration support. If you have specific and strategic fueling needs, we always recommend carrying those items, but our aid stations will have calories for you.
What is the bathroom situation?
We will have bathrooms at every aid station.
