Lace up for an unforgettable alpine adventure at the Women's Epic 10k at Deer Valley Resort, set for September 26, 2026, in scenic Park City, UT. This trail race is specifically designed to empower and challenge women of all skill levels, from seasoned runners to first-timers, fostering an unparalleled atmosphere of unity and positivity.
The 10K course is a demanding yet rewarding loop beginning at the base of Deer Valley Resort near Snow Park Lodge. Runners will tackle approximately 1253 to 1335 feet of vertical gain, with the initial two miles presenting a steep uphill climb. As you ascend the Bald Eagle Hiking Trail, you'll be treated to breathtaking views of Park City, winding through thick pines, vibrant autumn trees, and open country. The challenge transforms into a gradual 4.2-mile descent, where you'll navigate gorgeous single tracks on Mid-Mountain and Deer Crest, allowing you to enjoy the fresh mountain air and the stunning scenery you've just conquered. Along the way, two top-notch aid stations will be available—the first at Silver Lake Lodge around mile 2, offering water, electrolytes, and restrooms, and a second around mile 4, ensuring you stay hydrated and fueled. Typical race day conditions in late September offer comfortable highs around 71°F and cool lows near 37°F, with a low 8% chance of precipitation, providing ideal running weather.
Beyond the magnificent mountain trails, the Women's Epic 10k distinguishes itself with an incredible community and an "epic" finish line celebration. Expect a festive after-party and vendor village, complete with music and an enthusiastic crowd to cheer you across the finish line. Participants consistently praise the supportive environment, beautiful scenery, and the sense of camaraderie that makes this event truly special. Crossing the finish line earns you an exclusive Women's Epic necklace, a testament to your accomplishment. This isn't just a race; it's an experience crafted to push your limits and celebrate your strength amidst the stunning fall foliage of Deer Valley.
