Serengeti Trail Races - April 11, 2026
The Serengeti Trail Races take place in Erda, Utah, at the Bates Canyon Trail Head in the Oquirrh Mountains. The event includes multiple distances on a mix of dirt road/ATV trail, single-track, and double-track with views of the Tooele Valley, the Great Salt Lake, and the Stansbury Mountain Range.
- 50K (31.1 miles, 4,500 ft)
- 25K (15.55 miles, 2,250 ft)
- 10K / 6.45 miles (1,250 ft)
The 50K is two 25K loops; the first loop is counterclockwise and the second loop is clockwise. The course description lists specific segments such as powerline roads, the wooded BBC trail, Pole Canyon double-track, and the Sidewinder single-track. Aid stations are located at BBC and the Start/Finish Area, with mile markers noted for station placement.
Surface breakdowns are provided for each distance: for the longer distances roughly 69% dirt road/ATV trail, 25% single-track, and 6% double-track; the shorter course has a higher single-track proportion. Published hard cutoffs are given as elapsed-time limits (for example, 4.5 hours to reach the 15.55-mile point and 9 hours for the full 31.1 miles). The event is USATF sanctioned. The organizer describes a low-key atmosphere and modest awards for the top three men and women in each distance. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
