Tooele County is home to beautiful Settlement Canyon, founded and settled by Mormon pioneers in late 1849. These scenic courses take place in Left Hand Fork of Settlement Canyon and will take the runner through forested singletrack, rugged dirt roads, exposed bench trails, and steep deserty ridgeline, all while enjoying stunning views of Tooele Valley, and the 9,000-10,000 ft+ peaks surrounding the canyon. Come enjoy the beauty and solitude of getting off the asphalt and onto the dirt!

Map
This is mountain running, between 5,300 & 7,300 ft above sea level; every year, we seem to get a snow storm in mid-October, dropping 2-6" of snow; on race day three years ago, we had freezing rain and a skiff of snow at the high point; most years, we have beautiful blue bird race day weather. Watch the forecast and pack your gear appropriately.
The course is closed - if you go off-course, you must re-enter the course at the point of deviation, otherwise you will be disqualified. You are expected to study and become familiar with the course (don't rely on the other runners - they may not know where the heck they're going!)
Pack out what you pack in, or throw it in a garbage can at the Start/Finish Line.
We love furry friends, but you need to leave them at home. Please, no animals allowed on the course or at the Start/Finish Area.
Courses subject to change at RD's discretion.
