Wild Wild West History & Description
The oldest trail marathon in the United States, the legendary Wild Wild West Marathon, and UIltra have been held for 45 years! Join us for a super scenic trail race that goes through the great Alabama Hills and the foothills of Mt. Whitney. Water stops or aid stations are located approximately every four miles along with one of American's most scenic trail races. We offer 50-mile and 50km ultramarathons, a 26.2-mile marathon, and a ten-mile race.
If you want clean air, safe surroundings, and spectacular scenery, if you and your family would like to enjoy a day of running, or you want to run a challenging race, this is the race for you.
New for 2024, we are pleased to welcome Joshua Holmes of Run It Fast - a well-known race director and also ten-time finisher of Badwater 135 - as the race director of our event.
As is the case every year, our team of super experienced, super supportive volunteers from the Lone Pine Community, along with Lone Pine Chamber of Commerce Staff and Board Members, will be out in force to support the runners. If you or your family or friends would like to volunteer at the race, please contact us!
