Weather

Run the Red takes place in a high desert environment, at an average elevation of nearly 7,500’. Runners should be prepared for weather that ranges from (1) hot and sunny to (2) cold and snowy — and single-day swings between the two extremes.

To highlight this point, we’ve shown race-day weather for South Pass City from 2018 through 2020. In 2019, portions of the course, at higher elevations, had snow and sleet.
