Ponderosa Polar Challenge Race Description
An endurance race set against the stunning backdrop of the Zion Ponderosa Ranch Resort right outside of Zion National Park. With distances ranging from 5k to 150-miles, you can decide how far you want to go within a 52-hour time limit. Whether you’re looking for a fun walk/run or an ultra-challenge, the Ponderosa Polar Challenge is about personal growth and community—not just speed. Held the first full weekend in November, the race will feature a 1-mile, 3-mile, and a 5-mile loop that can be run either direction until you complete your race distance. All participants will have access to a campsite, food, and various amenities throughout the entire event, including showers, a hot tub, pickleball, basketball and tennis courts, and more.
