From here you will begin running on one of the more iconic trail sections of this course- Gooseberry Mesa.

This is a beautiful single track trail section with amazing views of Zion and the beautiful areas surrounding it.

Make sure and pay attention to the trail on this section.

There will be a lot of single track mtn.

biking trails that will be marked with white dots on the rocks.

Even though most of the trail coincides with the white dots, there are sections where we will deviate to different trails.

Our course will be marked with pink ribbons.

So always follow the pink ribbons.

This loop will be run in a counterclockwise direction.

You will hit the next aid station (Gooseberry Aid) at mile 14, about half way through the loop. Upon your return to your second pass at the Goosebump Aid Station (mile 17.8) you will then head back on the same double track you started on toward the Start/Finish area.

We will have an area close to the finish line where crew access will be available (mile 22.7).

This is a great place for your friends and family to cheer you on and for a crew member to assist you if needed.

At the junction, you will turn left to head downhill on a dirt road to Grafton Mesa Aid (mile 23.9).

You will run the Grafton Mesa Trail loop in a counterclockwise direction.

Though this loop is technical in some areas, it’s still very runnable with beautiful views to enjoy.

After the loop, you will pass through Grafton Mesa Aid (mile 29.3) for a second time before your final short- but steep section of dirt road back to the finish line.
