Snow Peaks 50 Mile Trail Run

Snow Peaks 50 Mile Trail Run : 2026

The Snow Peaks 50 is a 50 mile loop trail run held in Utah on the second Saturday in June, centered at Vivian Park near Provo. The course covers roughly 10,000 ft of elevation gain and loss and includes five major climbs, the largest rising nearly 3,000 ft. Terrain is a mix of single track, dirt roads, and some paved sections, with specific paved stretches early, near mile 22.7, and the final miles into the finish.

The route is marked with orange flagging; orange and blue together indicate critical turns. Participants must load the course on a phone or GPS device before the start as a required backup. Conditions at higher elevations may include snow and the course can be modified when necessary.

There are nine aid stations spaced approximately 4 to 7 miles apart. Medical support is available at the start/finish and at Little Valley (AS 7). A time cutoff is enforced at Little Valley to allow runners to clear Windy Pass before dark. Aid stations are moving toward a cupless format so runners should carry a reusable cup or bottle.

Required gear includes a cell phone or GPS with the course, a headlamp, and a reusable cup. Pacers and crew access is restricted to specific aid stations and strict rules govern crew conduct and vehicle access. The event has a race capacity of 400 and a multi tiered registration fee structure for different registration periods.

Awards are given to overall and age group finishers. All finishers receive a t shirt and finisher medal; additional recognition is provided for multi year finishers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
