Hey Runner!

Break out the coolers, sunscreen, and jorts. It’s officially summer. ☀️🇺🇸

While the rest of the country fires up the grill and flocks to the beach, you’re lubing up to race. ’Tis the season to sweat your sillies out and the latest UltraSignup Hot List is here to help you figure out where.

This month’s edition includes:
🌭 Races hotter than a hot dog. Register before you’re stuck crewing your friend.
🚀 Prices going up. Get in before it costs more and spend that extra cash on Bomb Pops.

🌴 Registrations opening. Being first on the entrants list is like snagging the best beach spot before the crowds roll in.

Keep scrolling for a list of races in the West that will make you want to actually train in the summer heat. This email has races from Utah, Texas, Wyoming, Montana, Oklahoma, Colorado, Idaho, Arizona, New Mexico, and Nevada.
