About
The Wasatch Front 100 has run every September since 1980, which makes it one of the oldest 100-mile trail races anywhere. The point-to-point course crosses the Wasatch Range from East Mountain Wilderness Park in Kaysville to Soldier Hollow in Midway, climbing about 24,000 feet, and the race calls itself one hundred miles of heaven and hell. It starts at 5:00 a.m. on the first Friday after Labor Day and allows 36 hours.
Wasatch is one of the four races of the Grand Slam of Ultrarunning, alongside Western States, Vermont, and Leadville, and counts as a Western States 100 qualifier. Entry is by winter lottery, and every entrant owes a day of trail work before race week.
