Grand Circle Trailfest

Grand Circle Trailfest

Grand Circle Trailfest is a three-day trail festival that links trails in Bryce Canyon, Zion, and Antelope Canyon on Navajo Nation land. Festival headquarters and basecamp are at Jacob Hamblin Park in Kanab, Utah. The event offers timed trail races across distinct desert landscapes and a basecamp program with daily meals, on-site camping, and evening activities.

Each day features a timed trail race on natural surfaces with at least one aid station on course. Aid stations provide water, electrolyte drink, Honey Stinger gels, fresh fruit, and a mix of salty and sweet options. Live results are hosted online and event photos are provided by a professional race photography service after the event.

Camping options include tent camping, glamping, and limited RV or van spots. Facilities at Festival HQ include flush and compost toilets, showers, a pavilion with picnic tables, and a serving area for breakfast and dinner. Tent options include 4-person and 6-person sites and sleeping pads are available for rent. A cup free policy applies on course; runners should bring a reusable bottle, a collapsible cup, or a hydration pack.

Evening and afternoon festival offerings include yoga, speaker talks, live music, cultural performances, clinics, and a beer garden. Awards are presented nightly for top overall and masters placements, with cumulative overall awards given after the final day. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
