Embark on an unforgettable trail running adventure at the Antelope Canyon Ultras, set to challenge and awe runners on March 7, 2026, in Page, Arizona. This acclaimed event, hosted by Vacation Races, offers distances including a 50 Mile, 55K, 30K, and Half Marathon, each meticulously designed to showcase the stunning landscapes of the American Southwest. Typical race day conditions in early March offer pleasant temperatures, with highs around 61°F and lows near 39°F, and only a 3% chance of precipitation, providing an ideal climate for exploring this iconic region.

The Antelope Canyon Ultras are renowned for their incredibly diverse and challenging terrain, guiding participants through some of the most photographed and sacred lands. Runners will navigate vast stretches of deep sand (often comprising 65% of the course), slickrock, and technical sections requiring rock scrambling, ladders, ropes, and cables. The longer distances famously take you *through* the mesmerizing Antelope Canyon itself, offering a unique opportunity to experience slot canyons typically off-limits to the public without a Navajo guide. Beyond the slot canyons, the courses boast breathtaking vistas of Horseshoe Bend, Waterholes Canyon, the Page Rim Trail, Lake Powell, and distant views of Bryce Canyon, Grand Staircase-Escalante, and Zion. Aid stations are strategically placed approximately every five miles, fully stocked with a wide array of hydration, salty snacks, sweet treats, and real food, while friendly volunteers provide essential support and encouragement.

Starting and finishing at the Page Sports Complex, the Antelope Canyon Ultras promise a truly epic and memorable experience. Runners consistently praise the race for its unparalleled scenery and the sense of accomplishment that comes from conquering its demanding but beautiful trails. While the course is challenging, requiring focused foot placement and a readiness for varied surfaces, the reward is an immersive journey through a landscape of unparalleled natural grandeur and a strong sense of camaraderie among participants.
