UTE 100

Embark on an unforgettable journey through Utah's stunning La Sal Mountains with the UTE 100, a challenging and immensely scenic ultramarathon experience set for August 8, 2026. Offering both 100-mile and 50-mile distances, this race, produced by Revenant Running, delivers a true wilderness adventure, prioritizing natural beauty and a tight-knit community feel. Runners launch at dawn from La Sal Loop Road, approximately 30 miles from downtown Moab, and immediately immerse themselves in a single-loop course that circumnavigates the entire La Sal range.

The UTE 100 boasts an average elevation exceeding 8,700 feet, with the 100-mile course featuring a formidable 23,356 feet of elevation gain and peaking at 12,272 feet on Mann's Peak—the highest point in any Utah race. Expect dramatic transitions across diverse terrain, including approximately 30 miles of alpine meadows, 30 miles of aspen groves, 30 miles of high desert overlooking Castle Valley, and 10 miles of technical scree above the tree line. Throughout the journey, runners are treated to panoramic views of the San Juan Mountains in Colorado, captivating sunrises and sunsets over Canyonlands and Arches National Parks, and a night sky ablaze with stars due to minimal light pollution. Aid stations are well-stocked with a variety of nutrition, including warm foods like bacon and quesadillas, along with Tailwind and Muir Energy gels. Pacers can join 100-mile runners at Dark Canyon (mile 42) and 50-mile runners at Upper Porcupine (mile 15).

This race is ideally suited for experienced ultramarathoners comfortable with sustained high-altitude exposure and technical mountain trails. Typical race day conditions in August include highs around 92°F and lows around 58°F, with only a 5% chance of precipitation. Despite its rugged demands, the UTE 100 is designed to be beautiful, offering a transformative experience in one of America's most remote mountain ranges.
