Antelope Canyon Ultras
Antelope Canyon Ultras is a series of trail races held in Page, Arizona, with the Page Sports Complex as the event base. Distances offered include:
- 50 Mile
- 55K
- 30K
- Half Marathon
Courses run through desert terrain that includes deep sand, exposed slickrock, sandy jeep roads, narrow slot canyons, steep climbs, ladders, and short scrambles. The routes pass near features such as Horseshoe Bend, Marble Canyon, Lake Powell, and Antelope Canyon and finish on sections of the Page Rim Trail.
Fully stocked aid stations are placed along each course and provide water, electrolyte drink mix, fresh-cut fruit, soda, and a variety of salty and sweet items; larger aid stations also include salt and electrolyte caps, sunscreen, anti-chafing agent, basic first aid supplies, and medical support. The event is cupless for cold drinks, so runners must carry a personal cup, bottle, or hydration system; hot cups are available for coffee or broth.
Crew access is permitted for the 50 Mile and 55K distances; pacers are allowed for the 50 Mile only, with rules and bib requirements for crew and pacers. Drop bags are allowed for longer distances under specified rules and must be left at the designated drop location the night before the race. A bib pickup and expo is scheduled the day before the races at the Page Sports Complex. Required gear includes a headlamp, hydration system, an offline-accessible course map device, and visible bib placement. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
