Snow Peaks 50 Mile Trail Run

Snow Peaks 50 Mile Trail Run (Formerly Squaw Peak)

Welcome to the 30th Anniversary of Snow Peak 50! John Maack and Marc Sanderson are the new Race Directors, looking forward to seeing you in 2026. This iconic Utah race, founded by John Bozung, will be held on the traditional course, with potential minor adjustments to aid stations if snow levels prevent canyon gate openings.

Registration opens December 31st, 2025. Updates and adjustments to the race experience will be fully reflected on the website by January 31st, 2026.

If it were easy, it wouldn’t be Snow Peak 50. The Snow Peak 50 mile run is held in Utah on the second Saturday in June. It is a very challenging, brutal and scenic loop through the Wasatch Mountains above Provo that will test your legs, lungs, and spirit. Technical terrain, big climbs, smooth and rocky descents, amazing views of the canyons and sprawling valleys below that stop you in your tracks.

Runners will experience a mix of terrain: 43% Single track and dirt trails, 38% dirt roads, and 19% pavement.

PAVED SECTIONS INCLUDE:
- The first 2.1 miles from Vivian Park, following the Provo River Trail past Bridal Veil Falls to the turn onto the Bonneville Shoreline Trail.
- At mile 22.7, a 3.7-mile stretch along Hobble Creek Road before returning to dirt.
- The final 3.7 miles through South Fork Provo Canyon to the finish back at Vivian Park.

The course features approximately 10,000+ ft of elevation gain and loss, including five major climbs ranging from 1,100 ft to nearly 3,000 ft. The first climb begins at mile 2.1 and rises 2,700 ft over 5 miles to the Kyhv Peak overlook. The final and most demanding ascent takes runners from the top of Berryport Canyon to the highest point on course, just above Windy Pass at roughly 9,300 ft. Depending on conditions, runners may encounter snow as they approach this point—especially in late spring race years. From there, the route descends nearly 4,000 ft over the final 9+ miles back to the finish line at Vivian Park.

Trail Map and Course Elevation Profile are available on the website. There are 9 aid stations along the course, to support the runners.
