White Pine 50 Backcountry Run
The White Pine 50 Backcountry Run is a 50 mile loop through Upper Logan Canyon in northern Utah. The course starts and ends at Beaver Mountain Ski Area and follows sections of the Bear 100 route. The event is scheduled for Saturday, August 15, 2026. Registration closes on Thursday, August 13 at 11:59 PM Mountain Time.
Runners must carry a minimum of 2 liters of water (four full soft flasks) when leaving Spawn Creek and Tony Grove aid stations, or 1.5 liters if carrying a filter. The race offers a flexible start option that allows runners to begin early on Saturday morning. First place male and female finishers earn automatic entry into the next Bear 100 through the Bear Tag program. The event also participates in the Cache Slam series, which recognizes the fastest male and female finishers across three regional ultra events.
Course details note that Beaver Mountain may still be under construction during summer 2026, so exact start and finish locations, parking, and camping arrangements may change closer to race day. A course map and GPS file are available. The event includes a playful Fish Slap prize category with details in the runner materials.
Camping at Beaver Mountain is available for a fee with limited tent sites and vehicle camping in the lot; showers and flush toilets will be open. Free dispersed camping is often available along nearby roads, and nearby campgrounds and lodging options exist in the area. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
