Bear Trap Trail Races

Tooele County is home to beautiful Settlement Canyon, founded and settled by Mormon pioneers in late 1849. These scenic courses will take runners through forested singletrack, rugged dirt roads, exposed bench trails, steep deserty ridgeline, and rolling foothills, all while enjoying stunning views of Tooele Valley, and the 9,000-10,000 ft+ peaks surrounding the canyon. Come enjoy the beauty and solitude of getting off the asphalt and onto the dirt!
