Course details

Courses follow trails and river corridors in Sinks Canyon and the Wind River Mountains. Common course features include the Popo Agie River, Aspen Grade, Brewer's Trail, Fossil Hill, steep climbs and technical singletrack, and views of the Wind River Mountains. The 50K is a mountain course that includes Fairfield ridge, Timbertop Mountain, Middle Fork Trail, Sheep’s Bridge, and Worthen Meadows Reservoir. The 18K includes climbing on Aspen Grade and Brewer's Trail, a section referred to as the "snowmobile track," and a return on semi-technical singletrack. The 6K is described as a noncompetitive fun run that follows the river, Aspen Grade, and Brewer's Trail, with no place awards and only finisher awards. The Kids' 1K is for ages 1 through 12, allows one adult to accompany a child if needed, and provides finisher awards, a custom event cup, and a summer treat.
