30 August 2026
The Northern Utah Trailfest (NUT) returns October 2–4 at North Fork Park, transforming North Fork Park into a weekend of trail races, live music, camping, and community events.
The Northern Utah Trailfest invites participants, families, campers, and outdoor enthusiasts to spend the weekend at North Fork Park. Whether you're racing or coming to enjoy the festival and everything North Fork Park has to offer, there's something for everyone.
Camping is available for the entire weekend and is open to all attendees, whether or not they are participating in the races. Every camping pass includes Friday and Saturday nights, with options ranging from tent and vehicle camping to group retreat campsites.
Festival activities scheduled throughout the weekend include s’mores, a musical petting zoo, flow painting, axe throwing, face painting, yoga, forest bathing, guided fossil hikes, stargazing, live music, and more.
"The best part of The NUT is the atmosphere," said Kylie Thompson, Marketing and Communications Coordinator for the Trails Foundation of Northern Utah. "People come for the races, but they stay for the camping, live music, activities, and everything happening throughout the weekend. It's an opportunity to spend a few days at North Fork Park, enjoy the outdoors, and experience the park in a whole new way."
With a mix of endurance competitions, family-friendly activities, and weekend experiences throughout the event, The NUT offers something for everyone.
