Course Description

Starting at 10:00 AM, the sun will be high in the sky providing some warth at South Pass City. You will quickly exit the state park boundaries and continue on the Continental Divide Trail. Climbing a bit first, you'll drop down to Pulmetto Gulch, where you will hop some rocks to cross Willow Creek. Gear up on as you make your way up to the top of the canyon to get your first views of the open Red Desert and Wind River Mountains. In not long, you'll pass by the historic cemetery for your first aid station. At this point, you will leave the 50K course and continue your way on a old railroad bed. Soon you will meet back with the 50K course and your final aid station will welcome you after a quick little rock scramble. Enjoy the beautiful rock formations and re-enter the state park boundary while following Willow Creek back to South Pass City.

This a new race course for 2025!
