The Redrock Experience
Welcome to the worlds most scenic running adventure!
This 186 mile running descent through the most scenic landscapes of southern Utah will be the race experience of a lifetime. The early fall weekend of Sept 10-11 is the ideal time to begin your running journey. Have you seen the painted cliffs at Cedar Breaks Monument, let alone run along side them? Have you experienced the breath-taking desert landscape of Snow Canyon, let alone run it at sunrise? Have you stared at the towering red rock formations at the entrance to Zion National Park on the way to your own personal finish line?
The Red Rock Relay is Utah’s newest epic running event. From beginners to ultra-marathoners, this race is for everyone. Teams of 12 and 6 will embark on a journey through Utah’s, and the world’s, most legendary back country landscapes. While traveling this setting, athletes will descend over 8,000 feet and experience running life on the road. Party vehicles filled with running gear, sleeping bags, sport drinks, stacks of energy bars, and cheering teammates will be the 24-hour Red Rock reality.
Leg one begins with a ride up the ski lift at Brian Head Resort to the pristine air at 10,500 feet. Legs 2 through 24 travel the extreme beauty of Cedar Breaks National Monument and the quiet evergreens of Dixie National Forest. Legs 25 through 36 will take the team through the stunning beauty of the Pine Valley Mountains, Dammeron Valley, Snow Canyon, and St. George. Team members will gather and complete their race at the finish line at the entrance to Zion National Park. It will be a never-forgotten celebration of the snow to sun journey.
Registration includes technical running shirts, finisher medals, & custom team relay baton. For the 2010 race, registration will be capped. Now is the time to organize your team, register, and mark you calendars.
This is not just another relay. It’s a red rock revolution. We’ll see you and your buddies at the Brian Head start line this September!
