Course & Conditions
Known for sweeping hoodoos, exposed ridgelines, and long runnable stretches, the Bryce Canyon 50-mile mixes altitude with rolling elevation changes. While conditions can vary year to year, runners typically face strong sun exposure and dry air — factors that amplify hydration and sodium needs over the back half of the race.
Notables

- Masters strength: Multiple masters athletes cracked the overall top 10/20, including Seungbum Kim (53) at 10:27:00 and Kyu Sik Kim (65) finishing 20th overall in 11:56:14.
- Even pacing pays: The exposed final third rewarded patient early splits and consistent fueling.
How to Race Bryce Well (Quick Tips)
- Start controlled; altitude and sun make early surges costly.
- Drink early/often and include electrolytes; carry enough between aid.
- Protect from exposure (hat, sleeves, sunscreen) and cool when possible.
- Fuel small and frequent to keep the engine steady over rolling terrain.
