Brian Head Odyssey

The Brian Head Odyssey is a high-alpine race built for riders who crave the kind of challenge that turns ordinary athletes into legends. Starting in Brian Head — the highest-elevation town in Utah — riders climb above 11,000 feet before dropping into massive mountain descents, wild forest corridors, and raw backcountry terrain. This is a place where the air is thin, the trails are rugged, and the adventure feels larger than life. The course unfolds in a dramatic clover-leaf layout where every climb leads to another unforgettable descent. Riders charge from an 11,000-foot summit into legendary trails like Dark Hollow, Bunker Creek, and Lowder Pond, only to battle back up to Sydney Peak again and again. It’s a relentless cycle of grit and reward — the kind of mountain challenge that breaks you down, builds you up, and turns determination into triumph. Every ascent tests resolve, every descent ignites adrenaline, and every decision on the trail shapes the story a rider will tell at the finish line. The Brian Head Odyssey is more than a race — it’s a mountain-sized rite of passage. Conquer it, and you don’t just finish… you emerge as a legend.
