Bryce

Qualifier status per the 2026 lists
Run across the northern Paunsaugunt Plateau near Hatch, Utah, Bryce covers 100 miles of high-altitude mountain trail with 14,002 feet of gain at elevations between 7,080 and 8,624 feet. The loop course mixes gradual doubletrack approaches with technical singletrack — the Grandview Trail, the Thunder Mountain hoodoo descent, and a long stretch beside the Sevier River. The 36-hour cutoff rewards altitude-adapted runners; most miles sit above 7,000 feet. Aravaipa Running relaunched the event in 2026 under the Ultra Adventures banner after a multi-year hiatus.
