Corner Canyon 5K, 10K, Half Marathon
The event offers three trail races that travel mainly through Corner Canyon and nearby dirt trail systems. The course passes landmarks such as Ghost Falls, the silica pit, and the Bear Canyon Suspension Bridge. Runners may encounter local wildlife and seasonal fall colors along the route.
Distances include:
- Half Marathon
- 10K
- 5K
All races are designated trail races and include multiple surfaces, including pavement, sand, gravel, and packed dirt. Trails vary in grade with both uphill and downhill sections and widths from road-width to single-track, which can limit passing in places. Several aid stations provide water and sports drinks along the courses; the finish area supplies water, sports drinks, and snacks. A professional photographer will take on-course photos, and each runner receives a race photo for download.
Races begin and end at Andy Ballard Arena. Race entries include a long-sleeve tech shirt, souvenir items (such as a beanie or drawstring bag), a race bib with timing chip, and an individual race photo. Awards are given to the overall male and female winners in each race and to the top two finishers in each age and gender division. The event has a four hour cut-off after which staff and marshals are withdrawn. The event runs in snow, rain, or shine but may be canceled or postponed for severe weather. Accommodation requests for disabilities should be made to the Recreation Manager at least five days before the event. Volunteers receive an event T shirt.
