Event overview
The White Pine 50 Backcountry Run is a looped 50 Miler in Upper Logan Canyon near Garden City, Utah. The race is scheduled for Saturday, August 15, 2026, and starts and finishes at Beaver Mountain Ski Area. The course follows portions of the Bear 100 route and includes a map and elevation profile with a downloadable GPS file. Registration closes on Thu, Aug 13 at 11:59 PM MT.
Course, rules and awards
The course is subject to change if Beaver Mountain remains under construction; exact start/finish, parking and camping details will be finalized closer to race day. All runners must meet a hydration requirement when leaving Spawn Creek and Tony Grove aid stations: a minimum of 2 liters (four full soft flasks) or 1.5 liters if carrying a filter. Flexible start options allow runners to begin anytime early on Saturday morning to address cut-off concerns. The first-place male and female finishers receive automatic entry into the next Bear 100. The event is part of a local series that awards fastest finishers across Logan Peak, White Pine and The Bear. A special prize is listed for participants who complete the event while fishing, called Fish Slap.
Logistics and camping
Camping at Beaver Mountain is available for $25 per night with a limited number of tent sites; car/van/RV camping is permitted in the parking lot and showers and flush toilets will be open. Free dispersed camping is often available along Beaver Creek and Franklin Basin Roads. USFS campgrounds in the area include Sunrise (Bear Lake Overlook), Lewis Turner and Tony Grove. Refunds replace rollovers only if a waitlisted entrant replaces the registrant; the platform fee is non-refundable. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
