Pony Express Trail Run

Vernon, United States • 17 Oct 2025

The Pony Express Trail Run features a 50-mile and 100-mile ultramarathon set in the scenic west desert of Utah, following the historic Pony Express Trail. This unique event requires participants to have a support crew, as the course is remote and consists entirely of dirt roads with a modest elevation gain of about 3,000 feet. The race is designed to be accessible for first-time ultramarathoners, with many finishers achieving personal records. The course begins at Lookout Campground and includes checkpoints at notable locations like Fish Springs National Wildlife Refuge and Blackrock Pony Express station.
