Here's your chance to run in the wild west on the historic Pony Express Trail in western Utah. This is a no-fee 100-mile fun run. No aid stations, no markings, no awards, no sponsors, pretty much nothing except jack rabbits, giant ant hills, tumbleweed, and the wild west. The course is VERY remote and a support crew is required to provide support along the way. The course is 100% dirt road and only has about 5,000 feet elevation gain/loss.

Course
The 2008 course will start at Lookout Pass west of Faust, UT. This year we will do an out and back. We will almost reach the Blackrock Station and then turn around and head back. The course is VERY remote, but the roads are good if you don't drive too fast. Crews are required! You must have a crew or share a crew with another runner. Usage of a map will be required, but the course is easy to follow. In general it is: "head west." There are signs that point the way for the Pony Express Trail at major intersections.

For more information see: detailed course description.

Crews
Make it fun for the crews. They are welcome to drive along and give aid along the way.

Crews, please make sure you have a good jack, wrench, and spare tire. There are no gas stations directly along the course, so start with a full take before you leave civilization. There are gas stations at these points. Cedar Fort (30 miles before the start), Vernon (10 miles southeast of start). You can drive the course with a regular car taking care in a few spots with pot holes. Using a high clearance vehicle will be easier to get around. Please also take it easy driving between Government Creek and Simpson Springs. The crushed rock road can have small sharp rocks on it. I've gotten two flat tires along that stretch. Be mindful of kicking up dust with your vehicle around the runners.

Water: Bring plenty for you and your runner. Don't count on finding any along the course. We may have a scout troop giving us aid at Simpson Springs.

Cell Coverage
Don't count on any on cell coverage on the course.

Pacers
Anyone is welcome to join in at any portion of the course. Jump out of a crew vehicle and join in the fun.

Aid Stations
None

Lodging
The closest lodging to the start is either in Tooele or Lehi, Utah, 50-60 miles from the start.
