Pony Express Trail Run

The Pony Express Trail Run offers 100-mile and 50-mile ultramarathons along the historic Pony Express Trail in western Utah. Starts at Lookout Campground west of Faust; the 100-mile course goes out about 58 miles to Fish Springs National Wildlife Refuge and back to Simpson Springs, while the 50-mile route ends at Blackrock Pony Express station. The course is 100% dirt road, very remote, with around 3,000 feet of elevation change. Crews are required, and pacers or bicycles may accompany runners. The event emphasizes a crew-driven, wild-west atmosphere on a well-marked main Pony Express dirt road. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
