About the race
Coldwater In Your Veins is a Last Person Standing race in North Ogden, Utah, organized by Enjoy The Journey Events and held at the Horse Corral at Coldwater Canyon.
Each lap is a 7.7 mile loop with about 1,200 ft of vertical gain and loss. Runners have a fixed time to complete each loop; anyone not back in the runners corral by the next loop start is disqualified. The race continues only while at least two runners start each loop; the winner must complete the final loop that the second-place runner does not complete. Race day registration is available and shirts are not guaranteed.
The event uses a single start/finish location with a pavilion and bathrooms with running water. The pavilion will have water, electrolyte drinks and some supplies on hand; crews may set up aid areas and remain at the site throughout the event. The site offers space for tents and parking, though goathead thorns are common in some areas. Organizers note that conditions can be windy and that stakes alone are not sufficient to anchor canopies.
Past editions produced long finishes; recent winners completed ten laps for 77 miles with about 13,000 ft of total climbing. The event format emphasizes repeated loop completion and rolling elimination until a final winner is determined. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
