UTE 100 Mile
The UTE 100 is an ultramarathon event in the La Sal Mountains near Moab, Utah, taking place in August. It offers three distances: 100 miles, 50 miles, and 50k.
Course Details
The 100-mile and 50-mile courses are single loops starting at the base of the La Sal Mountains just before sunrise. The 100-mile route circumnavigates the La Sal range and reaches the highest point of any race in Utah at 12,272 feet on Manns Peak. The course features Porcupine singletrack with views of Castle Valley and the Moab desert, technical scree above tree-line, and a long section on Dark Canyon Road. It has over 25,000 feet of cumulative elevation gain and an average elevation over 8,700 feet. Aid stations are well-stocked with food and drinks, including hot items. Pacers are allowed for the 100-mile race from approximately mile 42, and for the 50-mile race from approximately mile 15.
The 50k course remains unchanged from the previous year.
