The Aravaipa Expansion Continues

Vacation Races, owners of lots of properties, among them several Ultras that sort of never really felt truly home in their portfolio of ‘easy half marathons adjacent to National Parks sold these properties to the only US outfit that could take them: Aravaipa Running. Announced on Instagram:

Aravaipa Running has officially acquired Zion, Antelope Canyon and Bryce Canyon Ultras and the Ultra Adventure brand from Vacation Races.

More info can be found at ultraadventures.com, which already links to the Aravaipa website. With Zion and Bryce now under Aravaipa ownership it takes the organization to Utah, another state conquered. This acquisition also brings together a nice set of well-known 100 Mile races, which would make for a fun circuit, or even Series. I’ll spare myself any jokes about monopolies.
