The Half Marathon starts just past the gate at Butterfield Canyon Trailhead. This gate will be closed due to the snow this canyon experiences every winter. With any luck there will be a fresh dusting of snow. Nothing is more pretty and rewarding than snowshoeing on fresh untouched snow.

​​

This challenging course will have you climbing the first 6.55 miles up this beautiful canyon taking in amazing views. This is a special canyon and we just love being able to run it with no vehicles.

​

No aid stations on this course. We recommend bringing a hydration bottle or flask. This is a very challenging course due to the elevation gain!

​

13.1 miles and +2,267 ft elevation total

100% canyon road closed to vehicles​

​

No cutoff time, we want everyone finishing even if it means walking.

​

Navigation

Course is very easy to follow. Stay on the canyon road until you reach the saddle at Butterfield Peak Trailhead. We will have wristbands the runners will have to pick up to prove they made it all the way to the turn around. Grab one and bomb back down to the finish!​​​
