About Canyons 25K

Race strategy

Run hard on the first mountain, but save energy for the second.

  • Start easy and control your HR up to 7.3km.
  • Hold your race pace up to the aid station at 19.1km, but stay in control.
  • Go easy on the first downhill, then run your race pace.
  • Start · 0.0km–2.6km · Race-day nerves push your heart rate up: don't follow the crowd, find your own rhythm.
  • Settle in · 2.6km–7.3km · Plus 1 more climb and 1 descent. Ease in: hold back more than feels necessary. The race is still ahead. Climb by heart rate or breathing, not pace.
  • Work · 7.3km–19.2km · 8.2km of runnable trail, high point 494m. Plus 1 more descent. This is where the race is built: steady, solid effort. Running pays off here: run wherever you can.
  • Home · 19.2km–24.7km · Climb of 262m. Build to the finish: leave whatever you have left out on the course. Climb by heart rate or breathing, not pace.
