The VUE~Vortex Ultra Experience
Join us April 18, 2026 for the "VUE" ~ the Vortex Ultra Experience in the Red Rocks of Sedona. We're celebrating even bigger this year, because it's our birthday. The VUE is turning 5!!! We'll be showcasing the best trails on the Westside of Sedona. Choose from 5 distances: 50M, 34M, 21M, 12M and 4M.
Something for everyone :)
Race course maps are posted on the website along with elevation profiles, turn by turn directions and Aid station locations. Finisher medals and buckles for ultra distances along with awesome tech shirts for all registered runners. Celebrate your victories at our Vendor Village from 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM with fellow runners. Stop by and say hi to our partners and grab some samples too. Friends and Family are welcome and encouraged to come! Bring a camping chair and relax while sharing stories from the trail. Be sure to bring some "dough" for Dude Pizza who will be on site replenishing your calories. Grab an Athletic Brew, Wild Tonic Kombucha or Pepsi product to quench your thirst.
Still want more? Spend the evening at Red Wall Lounge around the fire pit and #enjoytheVUE! Or dine at Gerardo's Pizzeria and Cucina! It's a local favorite spot and they are hosting a fundraiser all weekend long for the Warrior Trail Foundation ~ feel good about eating!
Coming to town early? Join us at the Thunder Mountain Trailhead when Trail Running Escapes & 444 Run Company host a "Community Run" on Thursday, April 16th at 5:00 PM. We'll share some miles through an iconic Westside neighborhood and swing through the Peace Park for some Sedona vibes. Stay after for some conversation, bevvies and hang until the sun sets. Pickup your bib on Friday, April 17th from 12 Noon-4:30 PM at the race start. Located at 77 Cultural Park Place. Be sure to get your FOMO pic with the Let's Wander Production photographers and tag us online #enjoytheVUE. At 5 PM, Join Trail Running Escapes and 444 Run Company for a shake out run at the race start (same location as bib pickup & opening ceremony). Followed by our specially curated Opening Ceremony with Sedona local ~ Jennifer Marcacinni with a Moment of Intention and breathwork session to get you race ready for Saturday.
