About The Spitfire Ultra Trail Challenge
The Spitfire Ultra Trail Challenge is a Running race in Idaho Falls, Idaho consisting of a 50K and 25K and 12K and 5K Trail Run.
The Spitfire Ultra Trail Challenge in Menan Idaho takes place on a dormant volcano where on a clear day you can see the nearby cities and small towns of Eastern Idaho. Seated in the heart of the Snake River plain, the Menan Buttes are two of the world's largest tuff cones - volcanoes formed when basaltic magma boils up through ground water. The Spitfire is run on the north butte which is designated as a National Natural Landmark (NNL), Research Natural Area (RNA) and an Area of Critical Concern (ACEC) because of its unique geological features. The designations allow you to enjoy the geologic beauty, in its healthy, natural condition.
