THE DREAM

About Triple Trail Challenge — what makes it special

ABOUT THE RACE

A day you'll remember,
long past the finish line.

This series combines three summer races held consecutively in Park City: the Round Valley Rambler in June,

the Jupiter Peak 25K in July and the Mid Mountain 50K in August.

Complete all three to finish the series.

All three races are run entirely on dirt trails, with a 400-runner limit for each.

The Mid Mountain 50K starts at Deer Valley and finishes at Utah Olympic Park.

Show more

The Mid Mountain 50K begins with one loop around Deer Valley.

It then follows the Mid Mountain Trail for nearly 20 miles to its end,

before crossing one more climb and finishing with a long descent through the trail section of Utah Olympic Park.

Start line is beside Silver Lake Lodge at Deer Valley Resort, while finish is below the ski jumps at Utah Olympic Park.

The first few miles use Deer Valley’s normally bike-only downhill mountain-bike trails under a race-day permit.

There are eight aid stations, starting at Silver Lake at mile 5.54 and continuing to Bobsled at mile 28.62.

The elevation profile of the Jupiter Peak 25K is close to an inverted V. It is a 16-mile out-and-back loop starting at Park City Mountain Resort at 7,000 feet,

climbing to the summit of Jupiter Peak at 10,000 feet, and returning downhill;

the third of five aid stations is at the summit at mile 7.3.

Trail construction means the final half mile follows residential roads before reconnecting with the trail.

The Round Valley Rambler stays within Round Valley at elevations of 6,500–7,100 feet.

The surface is well-packed singletrack and doubletrack that is easy on the feet,

but the rolling plateau terrain brings a fast descent after each long, steady climb.

A 7K is also held on the same day.

All three course include a mix of dirt roads, doubletrack, singletrack, and switchbacks, with ruts, tree roots, rocks, and muddy sections.

Transit card
