Pro tips

  1. 01

    Cold 5.4C start

    Typical race-day temperature is around 5.4C, so the start will be genuinely cold in the desert. Wear layers you can shed once you warm up on the sand and slickrock.

  2. 02

    Sand and slickrock

    The route crosses desert sand and slickrock before reaching the canyon country, and that footing runs slower than road. Bank time on the firm single track around the Page plateau.

  3. 03

    Canyon bottlenecks

    Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend of the Colorado River both sit on the course, and they are the spots where runners bunch up. Decide in advance whether you are stopping for them.

  4. 04

    Navajo Nation land

    The course runs on Navajo Nation land in the LeChee Chapter east of Page, a slot canyon formed by flash flooding. Stay on the marked route and respect local restrictions.
