Are You Ready to Become a Top of Zion Warrior?
Calling all weekend warriors and adventure seekers — it’s time to take on the relay of all relays. The Top of Zion Relay is more than a race. It’s an unforgettable journey across some of the most breathtaking terrain on Earth. Rugged. Raw. Real. This is where grit meets glory — and where your team becomes family.
Choose your challenge — all happening the same weekend:
Top of Zion FULL or ULTRA Relay
195 miles | 2-day adventure | Capitol Reef to Top of Zion
The original beast. Run day and night through stunning national parks, scenic backroads, and wild Utah beauty. For those who want to go all in.
Top of Zion SLEEP Relay – LONGER!

Our most accessible 2-day option — same iconic route, but with cozy nights and no sleep deprivation. More miles than ever before. All the fun, minus the midnight miles.

195 miles | 3-day race | Capitol Reef to Top of Zion
Run. Rest. Explore. Our newest format blends the best of adventure and vacation. You’ll run 12 legs a day, then relax in the afternoons — with time to explore Zion, Bryce, Grand Staircase, and more. The same epic course, but with sleep and soul-filling scenery.
Why Top of Zion?
Because there’s nothing else like it.
Teams of 12, 6, 3, or 2 runners take on 36 to 195 miles across Southern Utah’s awe-inspiring backcountry — from towering red cliffs and alpine forests to sweeping plains and starry skies.
But this isn’t just about miles.
It’s about memories. Grit. Teamwork. Transformation.
You’ll laugh, you’ll sweat, you’ll bond — and you’ll finish with a story worth telling.
So…

Gather your crew. Choose your course.
And come run where heaven touches earth.

Amazing Views unlike any other! Great organization. Great prices!! You'll never find another relay quite like this one!! Fun and friendly.
Loved every minute of it. The views blew me away. It was every bit as hot and challenging as I had hoped for. Ellen and Warren were stellar. What’s cool about this relay is that you actually get to know the organizers. I also loved how you mostly go through smaller towns so that you get to meet the locals who cheer you on. Also, the tourists going through the parks are all super fun to talk to.
