Running Up for Air - Malans Peak

The event takes place February 27-28, 2026 in Ogden, UT (2985 Buchanan Ave / 29th Street Trailhead). It is part of the Up For Air Series, a set of endurance events that direct proceeds to nonprofit groups focused on air quality and present science-based information about healthy air. Events follow a minimal footprint philosophy.

Course and race options

Each lap begins and ends at the 29th Street Trailhead (29th Street and Buchanan Ave). One lap is a six-mile out-and-back that climbs roughly 2,300 ft from the start elevation of 4,764 ft to the Malans Peak summit at 6,904 ft. The first 0.75 mile gains about 300 ft before entering Taylor Canyon. The following two miles gain about 2,000 ft to the peak, after which runners retrace the route. The course is typically snow covered in February and can involve winter mountain conditions, including ice and wind. Spikes or shoe screws are recommended if ice is present.

Parking is available at the trailhead; additional parking is noted at a church at 27th and Tyler Ave. Shuttle service is not provided.
