About
TRAIL combines three separate mountain marathons over three days to create a unique challenge only 29029 could curate. This trekking adventure challenges you hike, walk, or jog a minimum of a marathon each day within 12 hours. Finish each day to complete the coveted 3X3 — an achievement & story that nobody can take away from you.
Trail Description
The scenic mountain trails around Park City will play host to the second 29029 TRAIL event. Each day presents a uniquely different mountain marathon course including a mix of single track and rolling mountain roads, crossing in and out of US Forest Service lands. The routes are designed to have moderate daily elevation gain and loss. Our 24-week training program will prepare you to complete each marathon with a goal of minimal jogging required.

12 hours of forced rest each night provides an opportunity to reset your mind and body for the next day's adventure.
AID STATIONS
Well-stocked aid stations will be placed roughly every 5 miles (as terrain allows) on the route each day. Keep in mind these may feature a more limited variety than our mountain events, simply due to the terrain and how spread out they will be.
