Many things make this course badass - A great course, fantastic people, live footage of the race on YouTube, and live runner tracking. See you kids in October!
The 55K is an awesome way to enjoy most of the beautiful trails that make up the 50 miler. This race starts off with a nice, tough climb to Bountiful Peak and then you come bombing back down one of our favorites trails called Zig Zag. You then finish the race like the 50 miler by making your way to Mueller Park and up our fan favorite trail towards the Summerwood Aid Station and then down to the finish line at Tunnel Springs Park! Approximately 7,800’ of vertical gain.
If 50 miles isn't quite your cup of tea then come enjoy running these beautiful trails that make up the 55K. The start time is 7AM at an LDS Church: 270 300 E, Centerville, UT 84014. The start time for the 25K is 10AM- just before the entrance of Mueller Park Canyon in Bountiful. The 25K will be the same last 15 miles as the other two races. Enjoy the beautiful Fall colors and a perfectly groomed trail filled with gradual climbs and undulations. There will be one aid station for the 25Kers. Approximately 2,238’ of vertical gain.
Cancelation Policy
At DC Peaks 50, we ask runners to fully commit to our event. Entry fees are non-refundable. If you’re unable to participate, you may request a 50% credit toward the following year’s race, provided the request is submitted 30 days prior to the race. Simply cancel your registration via Ultrasignup. The credit is tied to your email address, non-transferable, and must be applied by you during registration for the next year’s event; we will not automatically enroll you or send invites. Runners may switch to a shorter distance (e.g., from 50-mile to 55k or 25k) before the race, but no refunds will be issued for the difference in cost. No credits will be granted for requests made after 30 days prior to the race. We receive too many exception requests and will not respond to late requests.
