Your Trailfest registration includes a camping pass to the group area at race headquarters. Bring your own tent or we can provide one for you. Camping will be in a new camping area we are developing with the city of Kanab just north of the ball fields at the base of the canyon walls, adjacent to the city park (Festival HQ).
*Camping is available from noon on Wednesday (Sep. 29th) through noon on Sunday (Oct. 3rd).

When you register, you'll be asked to select the option of tent camping, car/van/RV camping, or none (if you opt to get a hotel etc.).

There are bathrooms with flush toilets at the headquarters and there will also be compost toilets placed around the tent area and festival. Showers will be available at the Recreation Center/Pool, south of the park.

Additional facilities include: pavilion with picnic tables, serving area (where Trailfest runners will provided with breakfast and dinner), three fire pits, a stage for the film festivals, and a very large playground for kids. 

*It is possible to park a tent trailer or motorhome (26 ft. or shorter) instead of tent camping, however, there aren't hookups available, and spaces are limited. 

FROM ST. GEORGE (SGU): You will skirt around the southern side Zion National Park and pass through the Mt. Caanan Wilderness Area, and the Kaibab Paiute Reservation.

FROM LAS VEGAS (LAS): You will traverse the Mojave Desert and transition to the Great Basin and Colorado Plateau, with views of Zion National Park and the Mt. Caanan Wilderness Area, and the Kaibab Paiute Reservation.  

FROM SALT LAKE CITY (SLC): You will drive down the scenic Hwy 89 with views of the Paunsugaunt Plateau (home to Bryce Canyon National Park) and through the towering white sandstone cliffs just east of Zion National Park.

FROM PHOENIX (PHX): You will drive through Flagstaff and continue north, paralleling the South Rim of the Grand Canyon and through Navajo land. You'll have two amazing options that are equally breathtaking and similar in distance/time from Kanab. If you take Hwy 89A, you'll cross the Colorado River via Navajo Bridge near Lee's Ferry, then drive along the stunning Vermillion Cliffs National Monument before climbing up onto the famous Kaibab Plateau and then descending down into Kanab with perhaps the most expansive views of the entire Grand Staircase, including Zion and Bryce. We highly recommend this route.  The other option is to take Hwy 89 through Page, AZ (Make sure to get out and hike out to see Horseshoe Bend of the Colorado River while you're there). You'll drive across Glen Canyon right below the dam with views of Lake Powell before heading west with views of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument to the north and Vermillion Cliffs National Monument to the south. 

Runners have the option to sign up to take a shuttle from Trailfest Headquarters in Kanab to the start line each race morning. Shuttles will load at 5:30 am and depart at 5:45 am. The return shuttles will be running to Trailfest Headquarters after the race. They will depart as they are filled with finished runners. Shuttles are reserved for registered runners only.

If you did not reserve a shuttle during registration but would like to, you can log in here and edit your registration to add-on a shuttle reservation.
