The Experience

Trailfest is a 3-day/4-night trail running festival in the heart of North America's most scenic national parks: Bryce Canyon, Zion, & Antelope Canyon. Whether you're a hardcore ultramarathon runner, just getting into trail running, or even a supportive spouse or a friend who doesn't run, the Grand Circle Trailfest has something for you! Each day, we'll run a segment of trail highlighting the natural landscape unique to that particular area. Each race is timed and you'll receive a cumulative time at the end of the festival on Saturday. The top finishers for each course will be crowned at Trailfest Headquarters in Kanab, Utah at the end of each day.   Registration includes full participation in all three races, full Festival access, an on-site camping spot with a tent (yes, you're welcome to bring your own tent if you prefer), and meal tickets for breakfast and dinner Thurs–Sat. (Additional meal tickets can be purchased on-site.) Festival activities are free for your non-running family and friends. Basic Itinerary Wednesday (Oct 1) - Check-in begins at noon Thursday (Oct 2) - Bryce Canyon race Friday (Oct 3) - Zion race Saturday (Oct 4) - Antelope Canyon race Sunday (Oct 5) - Check-out by noon
