Discover the stunning red rock and high desert vistas of Southern Utah at the scenic Red Mountain 50K, 30K, and Dirty Hurty Half on March 7, 2026. This classic event, starting at the historic Jacob Hamblin home, launches all distances at 6:30 AM onto a beautifully crafted clover-style course through the Santa Clara Reserve. Runners are treated to a challenging mix of BLM service roads and winding singletrack that climbs into the reserve, offering panoramic views of the rugged landscape before looping back to the Cove Wash Trailhead aid station multiple times. The unique course design provides excellent support and a great sense of familiarity as participants push toward the festive finish line at Unity Park in Ivins.
Organized by Underground Runner as part of their series, the race combines professional execution with a warm, community-focused atmosphere, enhanced by a pre-race expo at the St. George Running Center. The event is a favorite for both local runners and those traveling to experience Utah's iconic terrain, offering a perfect early-season test on runnable but demanding trails. Whether you're tackling the 50K ultra distance or the aptly named "Dirty Hurty" Half Marathon, you're in for a day of incredible scenery and shared accomplishment. Lace up for a memorable adventure where the vibrant desert colors and supportive trail community make every challenging mile worthwhile.
