Race Information
Nestled in the Rocky Mountains, about 2 hours east of Grand Junction and 3 hours west of Denver, lies a small running jewel called Gunnison, Colorado. The Sage Burner Trail Race is hosted in the Hartman Rocks Recreation Area of Gunnison, Colorado. Nearby to Black Canyon National Park, the race is true to its name, as the hills are covered in sagebrush. The unique 360-degree views of the Maroon Bells, San Juan Mountains, and the Gunnison Basin, make for a great day out on the trails. The race offers some technical slickrock, some smooth singletrack, and double track for speed. Come check out this fall trail event!

😄 Why We Like This Run
✅ Breathtaking national park views
✅ Smooth, gentle route
✅ An unforgettable atmosphere
Lace up for 13.1 miles through the heart of Utah's red rock country. Starting on Kolob Terrace Road in Virgin, Utah, this gently rolling, point-to-point course follows the Virgin River, just two major turns stand between you and the finish, as towering sandstone walls and endless desert views build with every mile.
It's bold. It's beautiful. It's unforgettable. And it ends right where the adventure should: at Cable Mountain Lodge in Springdale, staring at the South Entrance of Zion National Park. Beat the 10/31 price increase!
