FORMERLY - SQUAW PEAK 50
ATTENTION-
Hello SP50 Runners,
Save the Date: June 13, 2026
We wanted to reach out with an update on 2026 registration. Traditionally, registration opens on November 1st each year. However, the government shutdown has delayed our ability to coordinate with both the County and the Forest Service to finalize the necessary permits.
Our top priority is to secure approval to run the original, established course. We are working closely with all parties to get agreements in place as soon as possible.
In the meantime, please save the date — June 13, 2026. We will open registration and send out a notice as soon as everything is finalized.
As we approach the 30th Anniversary of SP50, we are incredibly grateful for your support over the years for the race and for race’s founder, John Bozung. We truly hope to see you back again next year to celebrate this milestone with us.
Note: When registration opens, there will be a 10% discount available on opening day.
Thank you for your patience, and we apologize for the inconvenience.
John & Marc

Description
COURSE: It is a very challenging, difficult and scenic loop course through the Wasatch Mountains above Provo, Utah. The trail will be marked (orange and blue flagging). It consists of - dirt trails (43%), dirt roads (38%) and some paved (19%). The paved sections are: The first 2.1 miles from the start at Vivian Park down the Provo River Trail down past the famous Bridal Veil Falls to the left turn onto the Bonneville Shoreline dirt trail. Then at the 22.7 mile mark, for 3.7 miles when you come out onto the left Hobble Creek Road, and the last 3.7 in South Fork Provo Canyon down to the finish back at Vivian Park.
There is over 11,000+/- ft. of elevation gain and loss, with 5 major climbs varying from 1100 ft to nearly 3000 ft. The first starts at mile 2.1. A series of climbs takes you up 2700 ft. over 5 miles to an overlook of Squaw Peak. Check out the Trail Map and Course Elevation Profile page to see what the course looks like. The last and most difficult climb takes you from the top of Berryport Canyon, to the high point of the course just before and above Windy Pass at about 9300 ft.
Depending upon which topo map you look at there are two different trails in this section. On the 7.5 minute series (1:24000) the trail around peak x9297 goes around to the north. Both 30X60 minute series (1:100,000) maps I have used, show the trail going across the south face of peak x2834 (meters). The one on the south side is the trail we use on Race day by which time there should be little if any snow on this side, as you approach the high point of the course about a mile before Windy Pass . From here the course drops almost 4000 ft over the next 9+ miles back to the Finish at Vivian Park.
2011, 2019, & 2023 were snow years and were run on 3 different alternate out and back courses.
