At Happy Trails Running we focus on a beautiful course and an amazing experience. We want our races to be events that runners look forward to every year. We believe in quality over quantity, which is why we cap all races at 300 or fewer participants.

We also believe in keeping everything local. We want our races to be simple, affordable, and convenient for runners.

Our courses will not focus on setting PRs, with mostly downhill running, but instead on enjoying all of the beautiful trails the Wasatch Front area has to offer.

Because our races use beautiful and amazing trails, we are limited in how many runners we can have. This is because of trail usage, parking, facilities, and the permits needed to make these events happen.
