Cirque Series - Snowbird (8.6M) - Jul 11, 2026 | Whitby, Ontario

Embark on an epic alpine challenge with the Cirque Series - Snowbird, set to electrify the mountains of Snowbird, Utah, on July 11, 2026. This premier mountain running race offers an exhilarating 8.9-mile course designed to test your limits, featuring a formidable 3,610 feet of vertical ascent. Starting from the Tram Plaza base area, runners will immediately begin a relentless climb towards Mid-Gad, navigating the steep Peruvian service road before reaching the breathtaking Ridge Trail. Here, expansive views of Snowbird's iconic Cirque and Mount Baldy unfold, leading participants to the panoramic vistas of Hidden Peak and the entire Wasatch Range. The journey continues with a demanding loop around Hidden Peak, a descent to Gorilla Pass, and a final, brutal singletrack push to the summit of Mount Baldy, the highest point of the race. After conquering the peaks, prepare for a steep and technical descent, including a challenging boulder traverse and a refreshing passage through Snowbird's Ski Through Tunnel, before a final mix of dirt roads and singletrack guides you back to the finish line at Tram Plaza.

The Cirque Series is renowned for redefining mountain running, blending a hardcore athletic challenge with a vibrant, inclusive atmosphere. Participants can choose from three categories—Sport, Expert, and Pro—making it welcoming for everyone from first-time trail runners to seasoned mountain athletes. Two aid stations, typically around miles 2 and 5, will provide essential Skratch Hydration and water, though runners are encouraged to carry their own bottles to minimize waste. Beyond the race itself, the Cirque Series fosters a strong sense of community, celebrating achievements with unique awards for the youngest, wisest, and even the "middle of the pack" finishers, culminating in a legendary post-race festival complete with live music, food, and drinks.
