The DC Peaks 100 begins in Memory Grove, just below the Utah State Capitol. Within minutes, the course starts climbing, heading up and out of the city before transitioning onto trail for the first sustained ascent of the day. Runners head north through foothills and canyons into Davis County on singletrack, service road and a little pavement, joining the DC Peaks 50-Mile route for the entire back half: the Great Western Trail climb up to Thurston Peak and Francis Peak, Mueller Park's trails, and exposed ridgelines above the Wasatch Front, before finishing at Tunnel Springs Park in North Salt Lake.
A mix of singletrack, service road and a little pavement: the race's own words are 'a solid mix of singletrack, service roads, and just a touch of pavement... mostly trail, some service road, and very minimal pavement.' Several legs are predominantly service road (Temple Ridge to Farmington Canyon, the descent off Francis Peak back toward Farmington Canyon, the climb from Farmington Canyon up to Bountiful Peak, and the start of the descent off Bountiful Peak toward Zig Zag).
The DC Peaks 100 is a point-to-point mountain ultramarathon starting in Memory Grove, just below the Utah State Capitol in Salt Lake City, and finishing at Tunnel Springs Park in North Salt Lake. The course climbs north through foothills and canyons into Davis County on a mix of singletrack, service road and a little pavement, tackling roughly 20,000 feet of vertical gain along the way, before joining the DC Peaks 50-Mile route for the entire back half of the race: the Great Western Trail climb, Mueller Park's trails, and exposed ridgelines above the Wasatch Front.

Parking. Minimal Parking. Be prepared to park down the street or to be dropped off at the entrance and walk a few minutes to the aid station.
Parking. Good parking here. Great cell service.
Parking. Crew must park down at the Parrish Creek Trail parking lot and walk up; the lot is used as the aid station. Reached via the Parrish Lane exit in Centerville, heading east toward the mountains. Parking was reported as a mess in a prior year -- please park on the road and walk up.
Parking. Parking along 1800 South. Poor cell service; Verizon better than T-Mobile.
2 people have been out there with a camera or a microphone.
These are other people's work and we link straight to them. Watching costs nothing and needs no account. More of them: every race we hold, on film.
Nobody sees it until we have read it. No account, no sign-in.
This changes nothing on the page on its own. Somebody checks it against the race first.
Somebody watches it before it goes anywhere near this page. What we are after is footage of this course, on the ground. If it would be just as true of any other race, it is not this.
We want the address of the file the race publishes, not the file. We download it from there so the page can say where the line came from.
We read every one of these and we write back. Every fact here carries the source it came from, and the way a wrong one gets fixed is a person checking it against what you tell us.
NavRun builds your pacing from your own training, then turns it into a plan your crew can follow: when to leave and where to park.
