Description: The Pony Express Trail 50 and 100 is an ultramarathon held in the west desert of Utah on the historic Pony Express Trail of 1860 on 100% dirt roads.
Here’s your chance to run in the wild west on the historic Pony Express Trail in western Utah. This is a 100 mile and 50 mile run. The course is VERY remote and a support crew is required to provide support along the way. The course is 100% dirt road and only has about 3,000 feet elevation gain/loss.
This race is ideal for first-time 50 and 100-milers and the “elderly” runner. Each year half of the finishers are usually first-time finishers of that distance. This is a very fast course.
The course for both races will start at Lookout Campground west of Faust, UT. The 100-mile race will go out 58.2 miles to Fish Springs National Wildlife Refuge and then head back, finishing at Simpson Springs (16 miles west of the start).
