Time: All day

Run the Red is dedicated to celebrating and conserving the Red Desert — a rugged, vast, and storied landscape. Run the Red offers two distinct challenges — 30K and 50K — both designed to expose runners to the many shades and shapes of the Red Desert. Run the Red starts at the Whitehorse Creek Overlook and takes runners through the Northern Red Desert — a maze of buttes, canyons, badlands, and miles of open country. The races finish at the historic South Pass City.

While we've got lots of hidden gems in Wind River Country, Sinks Canyon is one of the coolest. It's located at the base of the Wind River Mountains, with landscapes that include foothills, forests, waterways and more. Plus, it's a short drive from Lander.
