Speedgoat 50k is an international skyrunning competition held for the first time in 2008. It is run every year in Little Cottonwood Canyon (Utah, United States) in July and includes a marquee 50K race and typically one or more other distances/challenges.
In 2012, 2013 and 2014 the 50K was valid as Sky Ultra for the Skyrunner World Series. The 50k race features an elevation ascent and descent of roughly 11,000 feet. The race has a minimum base elevation 7,589 feet and a maximum elevation of 10,980 feet. Due to its high altitude, large vertical gain/loss, and technical terrain, the race is regarded as one of the toughest 50ks in the world.
The race was founded by ultra trail runner Karl Meltzer. Prior to the 2021 edition, Meltzer sold the Speedgoat races to IRONMAN Group, which is owned by Advance Publications. A stipulation of the sale was that Meltzer remain as race director through the 2024 edition.
The 2023 race was part of the UTMB World Series.
