10k
The 10k starts just past the gate at Butterfield Canyon Trailhead. This gate closes each year on November 1st and does not open again until June 1st. The end of May is when green begins to take over the Canyon with beautiful Spring colors.
This course still has you running up the canyon like the Half Marathon but is much more of a mellow incline. You still get amazing canyon views with dense green foliage as Spring will be in full effect in the lower part of the canyon. This is a special canyon and we just love being able to run it with no vehicles.
No aid stations on this course. We recommend bringing a hydration bottle or flask.
6.2 miles and +711 ft elevation total
100% canyon road closed to vehicles
No cutoff time, we want everyone finishing even if it means walking.
Navigation
Course is very easy to follow. Stay on the canyon road until you reach the turn around cones for the 10k. We will have wristbands the runners will have to pick up to prove they made it all the way to the turn around. Grab one and bomb back down to the finish!
