The fifty-milers did 6500 vertical feet of climbing, grinding to the top of Traverse Ridge four times over two big 24-mile laps. With the addition of the new Rattler trail, the race was about 3 miles longer than last year with an extra 500 vertical feet of climbing.

Steven Bonney, Singlespeed

As usual for the Utah State Championship Series, the race was well-run. The trails were well-marked, so there was never any confusion about where you were supposed to go. The trails had seen a bit of water damage from the recent storms but were dry.
