Purpose: Get Fit - and go gain Ultimate Bragging Rights for a Lifetime!
The goal of the Event is to walk, hike, or run 50 miles in 20 hours or as far as each person can go based on their own endurance and fitness.
Early Registration Fees: $25.00 before Aug. 11th + $10.00 after.
The 50/20 was originally inspired by John F Kennedy who encouraged Troops and Americans to get out and get healthy by walking. People throughout Utah County and surrounding areas have honored this event in the past, but the events were discontinued in the early 90's. We would like to bring it back, and issue the Challenge again. So bring your Families, your Friends, your Scout Troops, your Running Groups, or just bring Your-self to the ultimate endurance challenge and gain a Utah County 50/20 Medal and bragging rights for a lifetime!
Suggestions: Food and water will be available at various check points throughout the route, but we suggest you bring a few snacks you would like to eat as you walk and a water bottle to refill along the route. We also recommend you bring a flash light and a group of friends to keep you company. To complete the event you will be walking, hiking, or running through the night, so to be safe we encourage people to go in groups and to wear reflective clothing if possible. We will have safety patrols along the route and we will also provide reflective tape to place on clothing. Local police and communities have also been informed of the event and will help keep everyone safe.
