Goblin Valley Trail Runs 2025 returns on November 8–9, set amidst the iconic hoodoo formations known as “goblins”—mushroom‑shaped rock pinnacles—in Goblin Valley State Park, near Green River, Utah. Saturday, November 8 hosts the Trail Marathon, Half Marathon, 10 km, 5 km, youth mile fun run, and relay options for marathon and half marathon. On Sunday, November 9, participants may join a companion Gravel Ride cycling events of 56k, 72k, and 111k. Courses traverse single-track trails offering panoramic 360° desert vistas, framed by hoodoos, mesas, and expansive sky. The marathon features a full loop for views in every direction; the half marathon circles through the best park trail systems. The 10 km is a lollipop course via Lizard Foot and Buffalo Head trails, while the 5 km offers a shorter out-and-back under the desert sky. The kids’ mile run provides a fun, family-friendly option. Supportive amenities include chip timing, multiple aid stations, reusable cup system for sustainability, custom finisher medals and tri‑blend shirts, and a lively post-race festival atmosphere.
