White Pine Solstice Runs

White Pine Solstice Runs take place on 20 June 2026 in White Pine Canyon, Tooele, UT. The event offers three trail distances: a 55k, a half-marathon, and an 8.5 Miler. Courses run on single-track, dirt roads, double-track, and off-trail sections through the Oquirrh Mountains and ascend several named summits.

The 55k course is approximately 34 miles with about 12,500 ft of vertical gain. It visits Butterfield Peak, White Pine Peak, Tooele Peak, and Kelsey Peak and includes long, rugged sections above 9,000 ft and two extended stretches between aid stations of roughly 13.3 and 12.5 miles. Surface breakdown for the 55k is 52% single-track, 25% dirt road, 19% off-trail, and 4% double-track. Hard cutoffs are expressed as elapsed time limits at Mile 21.5 and at the finish.

The half-marathon is about 13.9 miles with ~3,700 ft vertical gain and a surface mix of 44% single-track, 50% dirt roads, and 6% double-track. The 8.5 Miler is about 8.7 miles with ~2,500 ft vertical and a higher single-track proportion.

Aid stations are located at Butterfield Pass and Settlement Canyon with a water-only drop at Camp Wapiti entrance. One drop bag is allowed at Settlement Canyon. Pacers are not permitted. Crews may meet runners only at the Settlement Canyon aid station. The event is USATF sanctioned and awards modest prizes to the top three men and women in each distance.
