25K and 55K receive finishers medals. The 50 Mile finishers get a very fun and unique token of our appreciation. Our runners love our tradition of custom DC Peaks branded sunglasses that you can wear on your runs and we hope you do too.
We pride ourselves in having the best media in the ultra running scene. Our videos are top-notch and we spare no expense in creating media for our runners and their families to enjoy. Our photos are taken by professionals and showcase the incredible runners we have on race day. We hope you're not camera shy!
This race was designed by ultra runners who felt Davis County needed a 50 miler and a 50K. Many things make this course badass: A great course, fantastic people, live footage of the race on YouTube, and runner tracking that wasn’t invented in 1943. We want DC Peaks to feel fresh, new, young, and alive. That's our goal when it comes to creating the best experience for our runners.
Jake and Mick are back to go in-depth about this year's course and the minor tweaks we made this year. We go over everything you will need to know about elevation, mileage, and terrain from aid station to aid station. We suggest you screenshot the tips so you can have them on your phone and you'll know what to expect leading up to the race! We tried our best to give you the info you want in a video that no other race has put out or can match.
Race day 2023 was amazing for both the 50 mile runners and the 55K runners. Thank you all for making it the best race day we could have imagined!
The finish line is the place to be at an ultra marathon. Ours is one of the best in the biz. It's a vibe and you need to experience it for yourself.
As ultra runners ourselves, we're tired of how old-school the ultra marathon world can feel. Utah is in dire need of a fresh, young ultra marathon. Our goal here at DC Peaks is to reignite the industry and modernize the ultra marathon community.
We're all in on making our race the best race for YOU. We have top-tier media, livestreaming, and aid station accommodations. Gone are the days of watered down ramen and Gatorade mix.
We created DC Peaks 50 because the mountains in Davis County are our home. We knew there was going to be a 50 miler here someday and so we waited. And waited. And waited...until we decided to simply do it ourselves since nobody else will. We truly believe that we have some of the best views on this course in all of Utah.
Our runners flooded us with compliments year after year. Many runners talked about how they stopped to take pictures of the views and trails they were running on because they were too beautiful not to. We want our runners to have something tangible and useful when they finish the race, instead of a cheap medal with a ribbon they stick in a bin that only sees the light of day when that bin gets opened for another medal to get thrown into it.
We know you'll enjoy our race as it is THE first-class 50 miler and 55K here in Utah.
