Welcome to the Watchman 100 Century Ride starting in Springdale, Utah and continuing under the shadow of Zion National Park..
This ride will take place in Southwestern Utah where the sun shines more than 300 days a year. On this ride you will travel through Sand Hollow State Park and view the majestic scenery of Zion National Park.

Races: 100 Mile

There is no better time to visit Zion National Park than in May with the wildflowers in full bloom. The race begins and ends within walking distance of the park, enabling friends and family to have some adventures of their own while you are out on the trail.

The welcoming community of Springdale offers many options for food and shopping. Your friends will be happy to come and "support" you at this event!

The event will be staged at the Springdale Community Center and park, with the towering cliffs behind creating a picturesque backdrop.

The course is very scenic, running on the Eagle Crags trail (on BLM land directly adjacent to the park), then over to the famous Gooseberry Mesa trail system, where the majority of the miles will be obtained.

Event Start Location
Springdale, UT

Course Description
Both races begin at the Springdale Community Center and run through the town of Springdale and across the bridge in Rockville. The course takes an immediate left after crossing the bridge, doing a ten mile out and back detour on the Eagle Crags trail.

After coming down from Eagle Crags, the course turns left and goes a little over a mile on the Grafton road and then turns left again at the Grafton cemetery and heads up the rough Grafton Mesa Trail. This trail ends in the Smithsonian Butte dirt road after about 4.5 miles. After turning right at this road and following it for less than a mile, the course turns right again onto the Gooseberry Mesa road (dirt), then follows that for about 5 more miles to the Gooseberry Mesa trail system.

The course then does about a 15 mile loop on single track beginning at the Windmill trailhead, following the edge of the entire Gooseberry Mesa in a counter clockwise direction. After finishing the single track loop, the 50 milers will head back to Springdale, following the Smithsonian Butte road all the way down (instead of the Grafton Mesa trail that they came up on.) The 100 milers will put in another 3 loops on the Gooseberry trails and then head back towards Springdale, taking a small out and back detour on a side road along the way to make up the 2-3 miles needed to get in the full 100.
