Outlaw Trail Ultra Half Marathon : event overview
The Outlaw Trail Ultra Half Marathon is described as an ultra half marathon, meaning it is longer than 13.1 miles; the organizers note it is about 1.4 miles longer than a true half marathon. The course is point to point in southern Idaho, beginning at Diamondfield Jack Campground and finishing at Third Fork Campground, located near Twin Falls and south of Hansen along Rock Creek Road.
The route is mostly downhill. The first three miles follow Deadline Ridge Road, a rough jeep and ATV track, and the final 10 plus miles are on single track trail. The course is marked with yellow and pink flagging. There is only one aid station on course; runners are asked to carry sufficient fluids and gear because the last 10.5 miles has no water station. Organizers recommend carrying at least two 20+ fluid ounce bottles or a hydration pack and suggest about 40 ounces for the final section.
Logistics and rules include a 200 runner cap, a registration fee of $85 plus tax and processing fees, a running shirt for those who register by July 15, a unique finisher award, and a post race meal. There are no refunds or deferrals. Rock Creek Road is paved to the start and finish, parking is available at both locations, and a shuttle option may be provided. Race rules prohibit trail cutting, dogs on course, and smoking in start and finish areas. The event supports the Magic Valley Trail Enhancement Committee and Valley House with on site donation boxes.
