Crimson Canyons Ultra

Crimson Canyons Ultra is held in Richfield, Utah, on September 19, 2026. The trail event offers a 60K (37 miles), listed as the Spinal Tap 60K, along with a 10K. Richfield sits in central Utah, in red-rock canyon country, and the event name reflects that landscape. The organizer's website is crimsoncanyons.com.

A 60K is an interesting distance: longer than the usual 50K, short enough to be finished in daylight by most runners. It suits anyone with a 50K behind them who wants a slightly bigger challenge before jumping to 50 miles. The 10K is the option for newer trail runners or a partner who wants to be part of the day. For the 60K, plan a 16-week build with a weekly long run on trails, some sustained climbing, and heat practice, because central Utah in September can still be warm and dry. Carry more water than you would in a humid climate, and practice drinking on a schedule.
