Uinta Wilderness Ultra - Kamas, Utah

The Uinta Wilderness Ultra is a trail running event near Kamas, Utah, offering a looped mountain course used for both a half and a longer Marathon+ distance. The course runs on a 13 mile loop that can be completed once for the half distance or twice for the Marathon+ distance.

The route passes ridges, valleys, dense pine stands and mountain lakes. Climbs total about 3,600 feet for the Marathon+ and about 1,800 feet for the half, with a maximum elevation near 9,948 feet. Much of the course follows ATV trails; the Forest Service closes the trails to ATV use during the event.

Aid stations are placed on course: two for the half and four for the full distance. Stations are stocked with fruit, salty and sweet snacks, Tailwind, water and other typical aid supplies. Time limits are set for each distance, with a 5 hour cut-off for the half and an 8 hour cut-off for the Marathon+.

All finishers receive a T-shirt and a finishers award. Packet pickup and runner check-in are scheduled the morning of the race between 5:45 AM and 6:45 AM. Vehicles parking or camping at the start/finish must have a Mirror Lake Highway pass; the pass costs $10 and is purchased separately. This is the event's inaugural running and is organized as a Trail to 100 event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
