How Trail Hero Supports our Veteran Community
We Support our Troops, all of them. We’ll never be able to thank them enough for their sacrifice, but we can help get them out on the trail. So on Thursday of this event, all Veterans and Active Duty members can bring their wheelers out free to any trail their vehicle is capable enough for. Furthermore, Trail Hero is working with 4Wheel to Heal to enjoy our trail ride as well. If you qualify and have your own rig, bring your military ID or proof of service to the event, we'll match it up with your preregistration and give you a refund for the day. If it is a Late Registration, we'll do our best to fit you in with your friends on a trail that you wish to try. Either way, come out and be our guest.
If you are interested in hitting the trails with our Veterans Run please sign up for the "Veterans Access Day" trail rides Thursday of the event. This trail will feature a Free Catered Breakfast at 9am, with the trail leaving promptly after with catered lunch on the trail. Trailer parking is available on site.
Below are a couple different programs we work with throughout the year around our Veteran's efforts.
Free Veterans Tickets for Two at the Trail Hero Amplified (Music Festival)
All Veterans will get one FREE 3-Day General Admission Ticket with Proof of Service!
Trail Hero creates motorized access for 1000+ special needs riders and 4000+ veterans over the last 6 years. To broaden the audience that hears about our community support efforts, Trail Hero decided to add a concert series on the Monster Energy Main Stage at their trail riding event.
Rockin' Golf Tournament Presented by Sand Hollow Resort
Trail Hero will run a shotgun start at Sand Hollow Resort's 9 Hole Links Course and the 18 Hole Wee Par Three course (Total of 18 Holes) with all registration & charity game proceeds going to the 501(c)3 4Wheel to Heal. Top industry celebrities and various supporters team up to find the best way around the course, and hopefully they hit some balls as well!

2026 Featured Trail: The Fallen & The Fallen Lite
This trail was built by a couple local Veterans who wanted to give back to their fallen brothers and sisters, with obstacles dedicated to fallen soldiers from each of the American Conflicts. The main trail is rated a HARD 8 with a couple obstacles at a 9 rating. However there is a shadow trail rated 6 right next to the main trail. If drivers and riders want to give certain obstacles a shot, they can jump in or out of the trail at any point. 10 plaques at 10 obstacles, The Fallen also has a memorial for anyone wishing to leave memories of their friends or family.
Scenery
The scenery is spectacular from almost every part of this run. To the south, there are slickrock canyons with hoodoos and many rock formations. Sand Hollow Reservoir lies just to the north, with Zion Park in the background. The lower Hurricane Sand Dunes are just to the east, with Hurricane Cliffs in the background.
Surface
Most of the trail is on the slickrock, with some parts crossing sandy canyon bottoms. The access and return routes are on bumpy sand trail. The route from the top of the slickrock is via the Hurricane Sand Dunes, mostly downhill with a few dune climbs.
Trail Details
The Fallen has obstacles dedicated to fallen service members from the follow conflicts: World War 1, World War 2, Korea, Vietnam, Persian Gulf, Desert Storm, Somalia, Afghanistan, Iraq, and a special obstacle dedicated to a specific service member from Utah that was also a wheeler. This trail can be fun for everyone with all sorts of skill levels and vehicles.
