Runners battled steep climbs, technical terrain and thin mountain air in the heart of the Wasatch Mountains.
Athletes from across the United States and beyond took on the event’s 50K, 30K, 10K and inaugural Summit race, each course delivering the vertical gain and alpine challenge that have helped make Speedgoat one of the most iconic mountain races in the country.
