Trippen Through The Timber
Welcome to a brand-new trail race in Payson Ut, on June 20th, 2026, presented by High Altitude Races. We’re excited to bring you another breathtaking, scenic, fun, and challenging course—one that just might become your new favorite.
This course is a stunning loop that starts and finishes along Nebo Loop Road, taking runners deep into the heart of the Canyon landscape. The route winds through miles of beautiful singletrack, gradually climbing into the mountain range where the air cools and the views open up. As you crest the high points of the course, you’ll be rewarded with sweeping vistas of rugged cliffs, dense forest, and the dramatic textures that make this canyon so unique.
After the climb, the trail turns into fast, smooth, and flowy singletrack that lets you open up your stride and enjoy an exhilarating descent back toward the finish. The combination of steady climbing, breathtaking scenery, and a fun, rewarding downhill makes this course an unforgettable mix of challenge and pure trail-running joy.
