About the race
The Dude Peak Derby Trail Race is a one-day trail event on June 19, 2027, in Salt Lake City, UT. The course covers 16 Miles, beginning and ending at Memory Grove Park and running through City Creek Canyon and the Bonneville Shoreline Trail.
Runners leave Memory Grove Park, climb into City Creek Canyon, then join the Bonneville Shoreline Trail toward Ensign Peak. The route includes a summit tag near Ensign Peak, singletrack descents to a tower road, steady climbs to radio towers, a steep hands-on-knees ascent, and roughly three miles along a ridgeline approaching Dude Peak before a marked turnaround. The turnaround is located before the U.S. Forest Service boundary to comply with permit limits. Runners then retrace the route back to Memory Grove Park.
This is a self-supported event. A water cache will be available near the radio towers; this is not a full aid station. The race is cupless, so runners must carry their own container and plan for hydration and nutrition. Participants are asked to pack out all trash.
Entry fees vary by date: $50 (Jan 1–Apr 30), $60 (May 1–May 31), and $70 (Jun 1–Jun 20). Race day registration may be available subject to the runner cap. Prize purses are listed for the top three men and women. Parking guidance directs runners to park along East Capitol Blvd and walk to the start. Bib pick-up is scheduled the day before at Sugar House Park. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
