Gooseberry Mesa rim running — canyon views without the all-nighter
Other trail races within 198 miles
The Zion Ultras 60K covers the core mesa loop experience in a manageable distance: out from Ruby Rider Ranch along the edge of Smithsonian Butte Wilderness, around Wire Mesa on singletrack, then up onto Gooseberry Mesa for rim trail running above the Virgin River including a short detour to Crazy Jug Point. The course returns via dirt road to the finish. Crew is permitted; pacers are not.
