Uinta Wilderness Ultra

The Uinta Wilderness Ultra is an inaugural trail running event near Kamas, Utah. It offers two distance options:

  • Half Marathon
  • Marathon+

The course is a 13 mile loop that may be run once or twice. Much of the route follows ATV trails; the Forest Service closes ATV access during the event. Climbing totals are 3,600 feet for the full distance and 1,800 feet for the half, and the course reaches a peak elevation of 9,948 feet.

Aid stations are located on course: two for the half and four for the full. Stations are stocked with fruit, salty and sweet snacks, Tailwind, water and additional supplies. There is a 5 hour cut-off for the half and an 8 hour cut-off for the full.

All participants receive a T-shirt and a finisher award upon completion. Packet pickup and runner check-in occur on the morning of the race. All vehicles are required to purchase a Mirror Lake Highway pass for parking or camping at the start/finish; this $10 fee is separate from race entry.
