Pony Express Trail Run

The Pony Express Trail Run is a remote ultramarathon on the historic Pony Express Trail in western Utah, offering 50-mile and 100-mile options. The route is entirely on dirt road, and runners require their own support crew because of the course's very isolated setting. For an ultramarathon, the profile is unusually gentle, with approximately 3,000 feet of total elevation gain and loss, contributing to a fast course by 50- and 100-mile standards. The race often attracts individuals attempting the distance for the first time, and about half of the finishers are typically first-time finishers at their chosen distance.
