About the race
Legends Never Die is a trail running event in the Sun Valley area near Ketchum, Idaho, held October 2, 2027. The event offers forested single track loops that move from low river corridors to exposed alpine terrain and ridge lines, with marked routes and GPX available.
Distances include:
- Half Marathon (13.1 miles) with about 2,450 feet of elevation gain and a high point near 7,600 feet.
- 55K Ultra (approximately 33 miles) with about 6,452 feet of elevation gain and a high point near 8,550 feet.
The 55K is a single-loop course starting and ending at Oregon Gulch and includes named sections such as Chocolate Gulch, Fox Creek, Curly’s, and Fox Peak. The route is well marked and includes five aid stations stocked by Atkinsons Market offering Tailwind endurance fuel, water, food, basic first aid, sunscreen and other runner care items. All runners must check in at each aid station with their bib number. Wilderness first responders staff the aid stations and InReach devices are available for emergencies.
Event rules emphasize leave no trace practices, no dogs on course, no drones, and weather readiness because conditions can include rain or snow. The 55K has strict cutoffs including an overall 10 hour finish limit and enforced intermediate cutoffs for safety. A finish area festival and postrace awards are part of the event program. A $200 cash bonus is offered for breaking course records. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
