The Wasatch Front 100 Mile Endurance Run (Wasatch) is a 100 mile ultramarathon held annually on the first Friday after Labor Day in the Wasatch Front mountain range of Utah. The slogan of the Wasatch Run is "One Hundred Miles of Heaven and Hell", and it is known for its challenging terrain.[1]
History
[edit]Wasatch began in 1980 under the leadership of Richard Barnum-Reece as the Wasatch Front 100 and was Utah's first official hundred mile race.[2][3] The five initial runners were inspired by the Western States, the first of modern-day western 100s. The following year seven runners competed, but no one finished.[4][5]
The Wasatch 100 is the final race in the Grand Slam of Ultrarunning.[6] The series is organized by the Wasatch Front 100 Mile Endurance Run Race Committee and the Grand Slam of Ultrarunning Awards are presented at the Wasatch 100.[7]
As of 2019, there were more than 300 entrants and the race now operates on a lottery system.[8][9]
