Naatsisaan Trail Races
The Naatsisaan Trail Races take place on October 31, 2026 at Navajo Mountain High School in Navajo Mountain, Utah. The event features multiple trail distances that begin and end at the high school and use local roads and trails.
- 50K Naatsisaan Ultra
- 10 miles Naatsisaan 10-miler
- 5K non-competitive trail run
The 10-mile and 50K courses traverse dirt roads, old doubletrack and singletrack trails, arc around Lost Mesa and include views from the northeast side of Navajo Mountain. Runners climb above Navajo Begay, pass the 2006 fire site and enter Cha Canyon before returning toward the high school. Courses are marked with pin flags, cairns and some signage, and are subject to change at the discretion of chapter leaders or race officials. Alternative routes may be used in bad weather.
Aid stations supply Honey Stinger energy gels, salty and sweet high carbohydrate foods, fluids, medical support and communications. Runners are expected to carry appropriate gear for volatile high desert weather, including rain protection, suitable footwear and a personal hydration system. Hypothermia and heat issues are noted as potential risks on the route.
An afternoon community cook-out and live music will be held at the high school. The 5K runs in the afternoon and will be followed by a truck or treating activity near the finish. Rustic camping with access to restrooms and showers is available on the school grounds; nearby towns offer additional lodging options. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
