Vacation Races & Friends

It's the last day folks! You may be feeling tired by this day, but you've made it this far, so keep on pushing. You've got this! We're taking a look at what you need to do to complete this last day and truly earn all of your bragging rights. 

Ready for some incredible views in the place where Vacation Races got its start? Our second day of running takes us to Zion National Park and the surrounding area; it's going to be a blast!

Get the inside scoop on what you need to know for the second day of Trailfest (but the first day of running) at Bryce Canyon. 

The VR team reviews what you can expect at the race expo on Wednesday. The race expo is where you will get your bib and other race merchandise. You'll hear about Kanab which is our home base for "Trailfest Village" as we like to call it. Here you can find camping, the mess hall, a recovery area, showers, and more. We'll also have our stage set up for nightly awards. It's camping, but it's really more like glamping.

After you read the Race Guide, get another inside scoop on the Lake Powell Half Marathon. This is one of our FASTEST courses at Vacation Races and this year we are running the original course! Heck yes to that!

Want an easy way to know what to expect for the 2021 Mount Rushmore Half Marathon? We cover everything you need to know about the race weekend including the expo, parking, and some scenic photo ops. We get lots of questions about getting to the start line for this race, so here's a rundown of your options:

If you're staying in Keystone, ride the shuttles from Keystone to the start line. The shuttles are within walking distance of the hotels in Keystone.

If you aren't staying in Keystone, you can drive into town and park in one of four parking areas in Keystone (locations listed below). OR, you can drive to the start line in Ghost Canyon Getaway.
