The Horseshoe
- The Horseshoe is challenging due to the initial 300′ gain which all comes at the start, it’s all downhill after that.
- Intermediate beginners could do this route, though the goal should be to run the entire hill.
- 2.75 miles, but can be shortened or lengthened. ~300’+ elevation gain.
- Meet at the base of Fourth Ave. Stairwell near the base of Memory Grove Park.
- Ascend 4th Ave. Stairs up A St. to 11th Ave. then downhill Bonneville Boulevard to State Capital & Down State St.
- Elevation gain is all at the beginning and intense, but once mastered you will be close/ready for City Creek Canyon.
Traffic & Trail Conditions
- Trail conditions entirely paved, though at steep grade.
- Road cleared during winter months.
- Neighboring paths and add ons (paved & unpaved available)
- This run has medium traffic, cyclists, dogs and auto traffic depending on time of day.
- Water and restroom options at base *Seasonal*
