White Pine Solstice Runs
The White Pine Solstice Runs, organized by Tooele Trail Racing, take place in the Oquirrh Mountains near Tooele, Utah. The event offers three trail distances that follow steep canyon roads, single-track, ridgelines, and sections of dirt and double-track through aspen and pine stands.
Distances:
- 55K - ~34 miles, ~12,500 ft vert, 52% single-track.
- Half Marathon - 13.9 miles, ~3,700 ft vert, 44% single-track.
- 8.5 Mile - ~8.5 miles, ~2,500 ft vert, 70% single-track.
The 55K route visits multiple summits including Butterfield Peak East, White Pine Peak, Tooele Peak, Peak 9,712, and Kelsey Peak. About eight miles of the 55K are above 9,000 ft and roughly two miles are above 10,000 ft. The 55K includes three major climbs of approximately 2,150 ft, 1,600 ft, and 1,550 ft, plus a final 4,900 ft climb from Settlement Canyon to the finish. Aid stations are located at Butterfield Pass (miles 3 and 8.2) and Settlement Canyon (mile 21.5); runners face long gaps between aid stations, including 13.3 miles between aid station 2 and 3, and 12.5 miles from aid station 3 to the finish.
Weather at these elevations can include lightning, rain, hail, or snow; participants are advised to carry hydration, food, and gear for inclement conditions. The event is USATF sanctioned and uses minimalist aid stations and modest awards for top finishers. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
