The Capstone 50K

The Capstone course is a 10k loop with sweeping views of the desert in and around St. George Utah. Starting in the counterclockwise direction, competitors run the loop in alternating directions (washing machine style) to cover their race distance (10k=1 Loop, 1/2Marathon=2 Loops, 50k=5 Loops).

The Capstone course is a 10k loop with expansive sweeping views of the desert in and around St. George Utah. It wanders along sections of the blissfully scenic Zen mountain bike trail! Just remember the Zen trail rising up out of Moe’s Valley is a wee bit rocky in spots, and with more than 1000 feet of climbing, you might want to bring (or beg, borrow, steal) a set of climbing legs as well.

The course was designed to provide an opportunity for new trail runners to gain confidence in an unfamiliar setting.

• The Course includes 3 aid stations
  • 1 full aid station at the start/finish line where those running the ½ marathon or longer distances will visit each lap. The more laps you do, the more times you get to sit down and sing (or cry) before heading back out on your way to see Zen.
• Your drop bag will stay where you put it before the start so you know just where you left it unless you forget where you left it. Then, of course, it will still be where you left it.
• There is a distance for everyone, bring the family!
• This is a fun event! Some may decide they have more fun when they make it competitive but remember encouraging and accepting new people into our trail running tribe is what this event is all about.
• You will learn firsthand how awesome trail running is.
• While the course is certainly challenging for the best trail runners out there, it is also doable for new racers ready to learn how capable they are. Trust us, you will consider this a capstone event in your year, and possibly your
