Highlights from Trail Hero 2023

Uniting Off-Road Passion with Purpose

Set against the sprawling vistas of Sand Hollow State Park in Hurricane, Utah, Trail Hero 2023 was a truly awesome experience. We witnessed passion for the environment, off-roading camaraderie, and advocacy come together to symbolize a shared dedication to preserving trail access for all.

At its core, Trail Hero is an event that champions accessibility to nature’s wonders. The event spans five days of trail exploration. But it’s not just about conquering challenging terrains; it’s about creating an environment where everyone, irrespective of skill levels, can revel in the thrill of outdoor adventure.

The goal of Trail Hero extends beyond just trail runs. It hosts signature events like the Supercrawl World Championships, The Trail Breaker, and Rock Races. These high-octane competitions kick off later in the day, ensuring participants can maximize their trail experiences before indulging in the adrenaline of these exciting events.

Trail Hero’s purpose isn’t only off-road excitement; it’s also a platform for advocacy. On-site organizations like 4 Wheel to Heal, U4WDA, and Hero For A Day collect donations, amplifying the event’s contribution to the fight for land use in Utah. This unity of purpose adds depth to the thrill, making every rev of the engine resonate with a greater cause.

Amidst the event’s action, Hurricane, Utah, offered us an inviting climate in early October. Warm days averaged mid to low 80s and give us refreshing lows around 50. As the fall colors covered the landscape, attendees immersed themselves in the scenic beauty. The event’s proximity to Zion National Park and the Grand Canyon is just another way it entices adventurers to explore the region’s diverse natural wonders.

From the Trail Hero Hunt and charity golf tournaments to engaging night races, each day is a collection of events catering to varied interests. Highlights include special access events for veterans, family-friendly activities, live concerts, drag races, and much more.

Each year, Trail Hero is designed specifically for off-road enthusiasts and outdoors access advocates seeking thrilling adventures with a meaningful cause. The event combines the spirit of unity, a shared love for exploration, and a commitment to preserving the trails that fuel our passions.
