The Smartest Way to Prepare for the Wasatch 50

INTRODUCING GREATER ZION'S WASATCH 50 MINI SERIES

Build for success at Wasatch 50 by following this simple plan - and save 10% when you register for all three races.

This Mini Series includes 2 Cross Country races that prepare you to take on the Wasatch 50.  Those races include:

    Three Peaks (May 16, 2026)

    Fast Times in Richfield (June 13, 2026)

    Wasatch 50 (June 20, 2026)

Every rider shows up to the Wasatch 50 ready to give it everything. But the riders who have the best day on course? They build toward it.

The Wasatch 50 is an Endurance Race like no other, it has miles of high-alpine terrain, long climbs, technical descents, and moments that test your fitness, your focus, and your ability to keep moving when it gets hard. And the riders who have the best day out there? They don’t just show up ready. They build toward it.

That’s exactly why we created a simple, proven way to prepare—using two Cross Country races designed to sharpen the exact skills you’ll rely on when it matters most.

RACE 1: THREE PEAKS

Start with a race that teaches you how to improve your bike handling skills at Three Peaks (5/16/2026). This is a Rock & Grit course—technical, demanding, and incredibly rewarding. Here’s what it builds: Confidence with line choice on technical and rocky terrain, bike handling under fatigue, and mental focus when the trail gets unpredictable. Because at the Wasatch 50, it’s not just about fitness, it’s about staying smooth when the trail stops being easy. 

RACE 2: FAST TIMES IN RICHFIELD

Next, it’s time to challenge you to move efficiently, stay smooth, and carry momentum. Race with us at Fast Times in Richfield (6/13/2026). This is a classic Flow State course—fast, rolling terrain where rhythm matters. This is where you develop the skill to maintain sustained pacing over longer efforts, efficient power output, confidence carrying speed through corners, and the ability to stay relaxed while moving fast. This race doesn't just make you faster. It makes you more efficient—which is exactly what a 50-mile day demands.  

RACE 3: WASATCH 50

The Wasatch 50 course features long alpine climbs, rugged rocky sections, and flowy mountain singletrack across Beaver Mountain’s high-elevation terrain. Racers will navigate forested trails, open ridgelines, and varied endurance-style segments that demand pacing, strength, and sharp technical ability. The combination of altitude, scenic terrain, and terrain variety creates a challenging and rewarding endurance course built for riders who love big mountain days.

WHY THIS COMBINATION WORKS

Most riders think preparation means riding more. But the riders who have the best experience at the Wasatch 50 focus on riding better. This combination gives you both:

Flow State Race → Builds your endurance engine

Rock & Grit Race → Builds your technical confidence

Together, they prepare you for those long climbs that demand pacing, the descents that require control, and the long hours on the bike where efficiency matters more than effort.

THE RESULT ON RACE DAY

Race day feels different when you’ve prepared this way. You’re not reacting to the course, rather you’re ready for it. You settle into the climbs. You stay composed through the technical sections. You keep moving forward—steady, confident, and in control. And when you cross that finish line, it’s not just about finishing. It’s about knowing you built your way there.

MAKE THIS YOUR YEAR

The Wasatch 50 isn’t just a race you try. It’s a race you prepare for—and conquer. Start with one race. Then stack the next. And when June 20 arrives, you won’t be wondering if you’re ready. YOU'LL KNOW!
