February 4, 2023 by Mountain Trails

The ultimate summer challenge! Complete all three TTC events – Round Valley Rambler Half Marathon, Jupiter Peak Steeplechase & Mid Mountain 50K and earn mountain bragging rights.

Registration is limited. Races will sell out.

FULL DETAILS + INFO

Our friends at Salt Lake Running Company Events have announced that registration for 2023 Triple Trail Challenge is now open. These classic trail running events include Round Valley Rambler, Jupiter Peak and Mid Mountain, participation in all three events constitutes the Triple Trail Challenge.

Here’s what they have to say:

ALL RACES ARE IN PERSON & CAPPED AT 400 PEOPLE. Run them all or choose your favorite…the mountains are calling!

Round Valley Rambler – June 10, 2023: 100% of the course takes place on prime, buff single and double track in Round Valley which sits at an altitude between 6,500’ and 7100′. While athletes will find the trails foot-friendly, the rolling, high-desert terrain presents a few long and steady climbs followed by fast downhills.

Jupiter Peak 25K – July 15, 2023: This is a Park City favorite with an elevation profile that resembles an inverted “V” (for vertical!) A 16-mile loop from Park City Mountain Resort (7,000′) to the top of Jupiter Peak (10,000′) and back down.

Mid Mountain 50K – August 19, 2023: The famous Mid Mountain Marathon is now a 50K! Enjoy a new challenge on the beautiful Mid Mountain Trail. The race course begins at Silver Lake/Deer Valley, where it follows the iconic Mid Mountain Trail for nearly 20-miles, to it’s terminus. There is one last uphill push before a long, winding descent down through the Utah Olympic Park trail system.

What you get: Each race will have custom finisher medals, custom race swag accessories and prizes…sans the typical “I already have a million of these” race T shirts.

Building, maintaining, and protecting trails for non-motorized recreation in an outdoor adventure-centered community like Park City is no small task.

But for Mountain Trails Foundation (MTF) Executive Director Lora Smith, it’s a mission that is deeply important and personal because Park City’s trails are central to her life.

“When I was raising my boys, we had great trail adventures. When I need to ponder a problem, burn off stress, or have the urge to explore, I hit the trails,” she says. “When I socialize, it’s often on the trails. With nearly every other facet of my life involving trails, why not a career as well?”

Lora started at MTF as the resource manager in 2012 and quickly realized it was a career path she was passionate about. Already educated in communications and organizational leadership, she completed the University of Utah’s nonprofits in excellence and executive leadership programs to prepare for the next step….
