A Major Announcement for Singletrack (New Event!)

Singletrack

Big news from Singletrack and Massif Running — we are the new owners and race directors of the Antelope Island Buffalo Run. Sign up here.

One of Utah’s most iconic trail races, the Buffalo Run has been a cornerstone of the Wasatch trail running community for nearly 20 years. Founded by longtime race director Jim Skaggs, the event has always been about more than racing — it’s been a spring running party, a reunion, and a race that welcomes everyone from first-timers to lifelong ultrarunners.

In this episode, Finn Melanson is joined by Singletrack producer Scott Hickenlooper to share:

* Why Singletrack/Massif Running decided to take over the Buffalo Run

* What will stay the same — and what will evolve — under new ownership

* The history and legacy of the event on Antelope Island

* Course details, races distances, and why this is one of the fastest and most unique trail races in the Mountain West

* How this fits into Singletrack’s long-term vision for trail running in Utah

Registration is officially open for 2026 Antelope Island Buffalo Run! Sign up here.
