Run the Mesa – Apple Valley, UT

April 1 @ 8:00 am - 11:00 am

When and Where

On April 1, 2022 join Red Dog Events on one of Utah’s most beautiful courses. Just 11 miles outside of Hurricane on HWY 59, the course starts from Ruby Rider Ranch located in Apple Valley and continues down Smithsonian Butte Backcountry Byway.

Course Decription

Zion cliffs stretch for miles, juniper trees and cacti, and if you’re lucky enough a random deer or coyote are what you can expect to see on this breath-taking backcountry road. Both the 10k & 5k routes leave from Ruby Rider Ranch located at the Gooseberry Mesa turn-off then follow the Smithsonian Butte Scenic Byway towards Rockville. The routes are both out & back and share some of the best backcountry views of Zion National Park.

Why Not?

Beyond the beauty of the run there’s so much more to see and do here in southern Utah. Run The Mesa is located right in the middle of southern Utah’s best outdoor opportunities!  Zion National Park, Bryce Canyon, Snow Canyon State Park and Sand Hollow reservoir are just a few of the amazing places you and your family can begin to explore while here for your adventure.

Ragnar Trail Zion

Ragnar Trail Zion, the trail relay that inspired the entire series is back! Grab your most adventurous friends and join us May 12-13, 2023 to run, relay-style, over two days and one star-filled night! Your team will set up camp at Zion Ponderosa Ranch, a hidden gem just outside of Zion National Park. This venue features amenities like a pool, hot tubs, showers, a rock climbing wall and restrooms.

Join us a day earlier, on Thursday, for a full blown 3-day weekend desert adventure. On Friday, the real fun begins as teams of 8 (or 4) cycle through a series of three challenging trail loops that start and finish at Ragnar Village.

You’ll run through sweet summer sage, under towering ancient pines and across red dirt trails that take you up (and up!) to some expansive overlooks including Dixie National Forest, Cedar Breaks, and Zion National Park’s famous “Checkerboard Mesa.”

When the sun sets the party keeps going as runners head to the trails in the dark for a spirit-quest, soul-searching, star-fueled night of running where the real memories are made.

The race wraps up Saturday where you can finish together under the Ragnar arch and celebrate with the best medal ever.
