Serengeti Trail Races
The event is a set of trail races held at Bates Canyon Trail Head in Erda, UT, on the Serengeti/Oquirrh Wave trail system at the base of the Oquirrh Mountains. Courses use semi-technical ATV and single-track trails and offer views of Tooele Valley, the Great Salt Lake, and the Stansbury Mountain Range. Aid stations supply water, electrolyte drink, fruit, and other items; those with food allergies should note a potential risk.
