Salt Lake Foothills Trail Races

Fairpark, United States • 31 May 2025

The Salt Lake Foothills Trail Races, held in Salt Lake City, Utah, feature three challenging distances: a 50K, half marathon, and 10K. The courses offer significant elevation gains—approximately 6,200 feet for the 50K, 2,800 feet for the half marathon, and 1,350 feet for the 10K—showcasing the rugged beauty of the Wasatch foothills with sweeping mountain and city views. The 50K and 10K start and finish at the BoSho trailhead near Hogle Zoo, while the half marathon begins at Ensign Peak. The event welcomes both new and veteran trail runners with generous cutoff times and includes on-course hydration and nutrition. Finishers receive a special medal and swag bag, and podium awards recognize top performers and most improved runners. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
