Bear Trap Trail Races

Tooele, United States • 11 Oct 2025

Bear Trap Trail Races, the 8th annual event in Tooele County’s Settlement Canyon, Utah, offers three loops that form Marathon, 23K, and 10K courses. Runners traverse forested single-track, rugged dirt roads, exposed ridges, and rolling foothills with sweeping views of Tooele Valley and surrounding peaks. Loop A is about 6.2 miles, Loop B about 8.6 miles, and Loop C about 8.2 miles, marked Purple, Blue, and Red.

The Marathon combines all loops plus a summit out-and-back to Tooele Peak (9,600 ft). There are no on-course aid stations beyond Start/Finish, though two aid stops exist at miles 9.6 and 18.3. USATF-sanctioned, with modest top awards and a low-key, competitive vibe. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
