brian head ODYSSEY

BRIAN HEAD, UT | JULY 20TH, 2024

the legend becomes reality!

You've probably heard stories. Tales that dip into the mythical. Some might even say it's all just a legend and this thing never happened. It’s just too epic to have been a thing. To those, we say come find out. 

The Odyssey takes what was the idea of the Brian Head Epic and twists it into a crazy hard day that will have you giggling on the flowy descents and cursing on the climbs. It will challenge you both technically, physically and mentally. It’s 47 miles with 6900 feet of elevation gain incorporating the ripper descents of Dark Hollow and Bunker Creek, the rugged Lowder Ponds trail and plenty of climbing in between all above 8500 feet. It will most likely be one of the most challenging and most fun days you’ve ever had.
