Scout Mountain Ultra Trail - Pocatello, Idaho - Running

The Scout Mountain Ultra Trail is a Running race in Pocatello, Idaho consisting of a 100K and 35K Trail Run and 60K.

The Scout Mountain Ultra Trail will take the competitors on a very challenging tour of the Caribou-Targhee National Forest outside of Pocatello, Idaho. It should be noted that this is an mountain running event taking place in the spring-time, in Idaho. Translated this means potentially very tough course conditions, and very unpredictable weather as was proven in 2010. Approach this course and the area with respect and come prepared for just about anything. This isn't your typical 100 km trail run.....
The full 100 km solo race will consists of running three consecutive legs. We will also be hosting a 60 km (legs 2 and 3), as well as a 35 km (21 mile) (leg 3) option. All three of these categories will be run solo. For the truly hardcore runner, the entire 100 km course is for you. This is a serious test of endurance as runners navigate this challenging course with ~12,500 ft of vertical gain.
For the slightly less masochistic runner the 60 km course is sure to provide an incredible challenge. With over 8,000? of vertical gain and the potential for very snowy and muddy conditions, this 60 km course takes runners through it all.
Our favorite section of the course is the last leg, which is exactly why we settled on it as the shortest (21 mile) option. A glorious loop from the Mink Creek Pavilion up and over Scout Mountain and back. With over 5,500? of gain and the best single track of the whole event, this is one incredible loop. This leg will most certainly have some snow. With a strong winter, this leg could be mostly snow-covered.
