Come join the fun as this traveling party makes its way along the
178 mile route. Join us at the start line at
Merlin Olsen Park in Logan, where we will have live bands and
team starts from 7:30 am to 5:00 pm. The party continues at Snowbasin
Ski Resort from
2:00 pm to 12:00 am with more live music. The
big finish is along
Park City's Main Street. Teams will arrive between 10:00 am
and 6:00 pm with live bands, vendor booths, and the award ceremony.
Think of it as a 178-mile party with 12 best friends. Teams of 12
will rock out to live bands, enjoy the wacky participant costumes,
and make life-long friends with teammates and competitors. Teams will
party along the backside of the beautiful Wasatch Mountains from Logan
(85 miles north of Salt Lake City) to Park City, Utah (15 miles east
of Salt Lake City).
Running three legs during a 24-hour relay race is much easier than
you think. Each team member runs three legs, ranging between 3 and
8 miles. This relay race is physically demanding, but legs vary in
difficulty, and runners can choose their legs. This unique relay format
makes the Wasatch Back an accessible race for beginners yet challenging
enough for the most competitive.
How do you get from one exchange to the next? Each team is allowed
two support vehicles. The first vehicle will drop off the first runner,
drive ahead a few miles, cheer the runner on, and provide them with water,
snacks, and plenty of love. That vehicle will then drive ahead to
the first exchange point to drop off the second runner and pick up
the first runner when that leg is complete. They will repeat this
pattern for six legs until they hand off to their second vehicle.
This leapfrogging pattern will continue all the way to the finish
line.

course you will receive:

Tech tee's for all participants |
