From the joy of finishing to the tough moments — read what runners wrote themselves.

Race reports: 1
Antin
“After a few hours plastered by my icy wet shirt, my body no longer could maintain its core temperature.”

Cold rain and wind left the runner soaked and shaking at the D.C. Peaks 50-mile race, prompting staff to stop the race at the first aid station. The runner reflected on having brought insufficient cold-weather gear.

UTA TRAX Blue/Green Line - City Center Station (~1 mile / ~21-min walk); closer bus stop 'State Capitol East Entrance' is an ~8-min walk

Start is at Memory Grove Park just below the Utah State Capitol in Salt Lake City;

a UTA bus to Capitol Hill is faster than the TRAX walk, which is mostly uphill.

Point-to-point ~100-mile course across Davis County peaks: transit-accessible start in downtown SLC but car-dependent finish in North Salt Lake.

car pickup needed.

Stations & transport near the venue

North Salt Lake is served by Utah Transit Authority (UTA),

which uses the contactless FAREPAY card (TRAX light rail fare $2.50, daily cap $5) loadable at station kiosks and retailers;

For reaching this trail race in the surrounding mountains, a rental car remains the more practical choice over transit.

The overall time limit for the 100-mile event is 36 hours, and runners must also meet separate cut-off point cutoff times at each checkpoint;

arriving past the cut-off point time means being disqualified and not allowed to continue.

climbing a cumulative 20,869 feet along the Wasatch Front range.

Since pace management deserves attention on this course, it is a course built primarily around mountain trail sections.
