The White Pine 50 Backcountry Run is a 50 Miler held in Garden City, UT, that uses a looped course through Upper Logan Canyon. The race starts and finishes at Beaver Mountain Ski Area and follows portions of the Bear 100 course.
Organizers require specific hydration when leaving two aid stations: runners must carry at least 2 liters (or 1.5 liters if carrying a filter). The event includes a prize element for "Fish Slap" participants who combine fishing with running. The first male and female finishers receive an automatic entry into the next Bear 100 via the Bear Tag. The race is part of a Cache Slam series that includes Logan Peak, White Pine and The Bear.
Course materials include a map, elevation profile and a downloadable GPS file; a separate Runner's Guide provides the full course description and details on course marking and hydration. Note that Beaver Mountain may still be under construction in 2026, so the exact start/finish locations, parking and camping arrangements could change closer to race day.
Camping is available at Beaver Mountain for a fee with a limited number of tent sites and car/van/RV parking; showers and flush toilets are open. Free dispersed camping is often possible along nearby roads and several USFS campgrounds are in the area. Refunds are available only if a waitlisted replacement is found and the event uses Ultrasignup for registration. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
