Crossover Half

Description

The Crossover Half offers a unique experience for seasoned half marathoners and first-timers alike. This scenic out-and-back course, set on gravel and dirt roads, serves as a “crossover” from paved streets to trails. Unlike typical downhill races, this course presents a rewarding challenge with a gradual uphill climb in the first half. Around mile 5 you’ll navigate a winding ascent before crossing over the hill into Sardine Canyon, where sweeping views await. After reaching the halfway point, you’ll turn around and make your way back, ascending once more to cross the hill, now with stunning views of Cache Valley. From there, enjoy a quick descent followed by a steady downhill to the finish line. This course offers a refreshing challenge for runners of all levels, set against a backdrop of lush mountain and canyon scenery. With the support of friends, family, or even new acquaintances, the Crossover Half is bound to become one of your favorite races.​

​

Additionally, as part of the experience, you have the opportunity to stay at the Little Bear River Retreat by reserving a bunk in one of the little cabins, an RV spot for your RV, or a tent spot, with friends/family and wake up where the adventure begins, ready to run, saving time and getting more sleep! Reservations required. Find more details in the info section below.

​

Also, during packet pickup there will be lawn games, volleyball, campfires, and other things to do whether you are staying overnight or just wanting to hang out longer with fellow runners and take in the full experience of the Crossover Half in this beautiful location by the Little Bear River in Paradise!.
