Overview

Lake Powell, named after famed explorer John Wesley Powell, is a large, man-made reservoir in the United States. Over 2 million people visit the area each year to play on the lake as well as visit its adjacent natural attractions including Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, and the Grand Canyon.

This is a mostly downhill course with stunning views of the rusty orange Jurassic Navajo Sandstone above the blue waters of Lake Powell. This course is great for beginners and seasoned runners alike!

Course Description

Starting at John C. Page Park in Park, Arizona, this paved point-to-point running course with a 1.5 mile trail section thrown into the mix, has an elevation gain of 553 feet. It’s worth noting, however, that the majority of the course is downhill in nature. To begin, runners set off toward Grand Canyon Junction’s Public Library before reaching Lake Powell Blvd. At kilometer five (5), runners find themselves of Navajo Drive as they set their sites on the 1.5 mile trail path off of 20th Ave. Upon completion of the trail, runners hop on to Rideview Drive to complete kilometer 10 before reaching Highway 89 and the welcoming sign for Page, Arizona. It’s then up toward Navaja Mountain Viewpoint along Lakeshore Drive until they reach the town of Waheep and cross the finish line. Runners have a total of four (4) hours to complete the race, which leaves ample time for walkers and runners alike. Upon finishing, all runners will earn a commemorative finisher’s medal.
