Canyon De Chelly Ultra

Lottery registration opens February 1st at 12:00 am and will close February 4th at 10:00am (local time). The order of registration will have no influence on the waitlist so take your time. We will host the lottery drawing live on our Facebook page February 4th at high-noon as we pull entrants from mom's stew pot. We will start the race at the entrance to the canyon and run 17 miles up Canyon De Chelly passing ancient ruins, petroglyphs and pictographs to Spider Rock, then run up Bat canyon trail climbing 1,200 feet from the canyon floor to the Spider Rock overlook turnaround point and back. On the return trip, you will see many views you passed on the way up but may have not seen. The canyon takes on an entirely new perspective on the return. Although not much vertical gain, the canyon offers sand, single track, creek crossings and many more obstacles to add to your journey. The first and last 2.5 miles will be in sand and has the same effect as big vertical climbs!
