Big news from Singletrack and Massif Running — we are the new owners and race directors of the Antelope Island Buffalo Run.
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 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 race on Antelope Island
* Course details, distances, and why this is one of the fastest and most unique trail races in the Mountain West
* How this fits into Massif Running’s long-term vision for trail running in Utah
Registration is officially open.

We’re honored to carry this legacy forward and excited to welcome both longtime Buffalo Run veterans and new runners to the island this March.
