Get ready for a New Years Resolution Adventure Race that blends trekking, biking, and navigation across the rugged beauty of Utah and Antelope Island State Park. We offer two options: 1) A 5 hour sprint adventure race suitable for beginner to intermediate trail runners, mountain bikers, and will require navigation with a map and compass; 2) Family-friendly 2 hour adventure race. Children 15 and under are free and must be accompanied by an adult; each adult requires a registration. The REV3Endurance Resolution Sprint Adventure race will utilize the Antelope Island State Park trails; racers will be required to have a mountain bike. Checkpoints for the foot section will be on and off trail; knowing how to use read a topo map and use a compass will be helpful! The REV3Endurance Family Adventure race is designed for our new and young racers. All checkpoints will be close to the race headquarters and won't require map and compass navigation. Additionally bikes are optional; you'll be on dirt trails that can be muddy, but no technical riding is required. If you prefer to get checkpoints just on foot, that's absolutely fine!

Why are our prices more expensive than they have historically been? The park has increased its participant and special-use permit fees significantly to help fund important initiatives like wildlife research, animal care, and the construction of their new visitor center. We think that’s a great thing — this park is a place we all love, and it’s important to support the work that keeps it thriving. Every spring, trail runners from across the Mountain West and beyond gather on Antelope Island for the Buffalo Run. With sweeping views of the Great Salt Lake, rolling singletrack through desert grasslands, and herds of wild bison roaming the course, the Buffalo Run blends natural beauty, community, and adventure into one unforgettable endurance event. Since its humble beginnings in 2006 with just 150 runners in the 25K and 50K, the event has grown into a multi-distance festival of trail running - now featuring 25K, 50K, and 50M races. Whether you’re toeing the line for your first trail race o
