Thank You
We couldn't be more grateful for the time we shared with our runners, volunteers, and sponsors in the foothills of Salt Lake City. We believe its the most beautiful urban trail system in the world and that credit is not only do the forces that made and shaped it over time, but also the City of Salt Lake for investing in these trails.
Next year is the 5th running of the Salt Lake Foothills Trail Races and all are welcome.
All information below pertains to the 2026 race and will be updated when race registration opens for 2027
