Trail Running in the McCoy Flats Trail Complex
The McCoy Flats Trail Events take place in the McCoy Flats Trail Complex, located a few miles southwest of Vernal, Utah. The event features races on single track trails through a desert landscape. Participants traverse a terrain known for its spring desert flowers and local wildlife, which includes antelope, bobcat, cotton tail rabbits, and mule deer.
The event offers three distinct trail distances:
- 15 km
- 10 km
- 5 km
The courses are held on established trails within northeastern Utah. A cash prize system is in place for participants who establish new course records in any of the three distances. Cash awards are available for both male and female runners if the existing records are surpassed. Current records for the 15 km stand at 1:18:04 for males and 1:29:46 for females. The 10 km records are 48:26 and 1:11:24, while the 5 km records are 27:18 and 37:02.
Registration for these races closes on the Thursday prior to the event date. The competition is organized by Mad Man Races and utilizes the natural desert environment of the Vernal region. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
