The Up For Air Series is a collection of endurance events created to amplify informed dialogue and empower organizations actively working on air quality solutions. Proceeds from RUFA events are directed at carefully selected non-profit groups who demonstrate high value influence strategies. The race platform is used to expose participants and the general public to science-based material about the importance of healthy air. All events are conducted with a minimal footprint philosophy.

Running Up For Air (aka RUFA) is a 3, 6, 12, or 24 hour winter endurance challenge for teams or individuals that takes place on Malans Peak on the east bench of Ogden City. Each “lap” starts and finishes at the 29th Street Trailhead (29th Street and Buchanan Ave, Ogden). Parking is available at the trailhead, but we encourage participants to carpool. There is a church at 27th and Tyler Ave that has available parking. (Shuttle service will not be provided.) Elevation at the start is 4764’. The route climbs roughly 2300' to the top of Malans Peak topping out at 6904’. Runners will retrace their steps and return to the trailhead for a total of six miles. The first .75 mile is a gradual climb of 300’ right before entering Taylor Canyon. The next two miles quickly become steep finishing off the next 2,000’ of gain to the peak. Repeat this as many times as possible until you Refuse To Continue (RTC). The time of year (February!) is intentional as it coincides with the latter part of the winter

inversion "season".

Given the time of year the route is almost entirely snow covered and can easily involve harsh winter mountain conditions. This is winter running at its finest! Prepare for ice and wind depending on the weather. Spikes or shoe screws are recommended once entering the canyon if ice is present.

    I'm participating in Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) Carry Forward® Virtual 5K to support life-changing programs for post-9/11 veterans -- and I'd be honored to have your support.

    I am carrying forward to help ensure warriors receive the life-changing care they deserve, always at no cost to them.

    To Register you can go to this hyperlink: https://carryforward.woundedwarriorproject.org/participants/Brandon-laaksonen-2026

    or you can go to the wounder warrior carry forward website and search my name under squads.

    I am carrying forward to support mental health, financial wellness, and long-term independence for warriors, their families, and caregivers.

    I am carrying forward to help build a future where no warrior is left behind.

    Every step I take and every dollar I raise helps create the care and community where veterans thrive for a lifetime. Will you support me with a 100% tax-deductible donation today?

    This is a in person or virtual 5k event, everything donated is contributed to the organization itself and not to the sponsor, I just coordinate and facilitate the event with hopes we get the best possible outcome and that for anyone who attends would want to attend again.

    There is a registration fee on their website that they consider a donation, but for that fee they also provide you with a shirt and medal as a thank you. These I will ask you bring to the event because they ask, we submit a photo for those who give consent.

    With this being a 5k fun run, you are not required to run, I have had previous participants, walk with flags, ruck with either pack or weighted vest, or just enjoy a nice walk.

    At the end I will provide a beverage and snack as a thank you from me for your participation. Then ask anyone willing to join in on the photo.

    Dee Smith, a lifetime Ogden resident and a Weber County leader, was a proponent of keeping our community safe. As a former county prosecutor, leader, mentor, and teacher, Dee was a diligent civil leader to local law enforcement officers.

    Dee passed away unexpectedly in June 2021 and left behind a legacy of hard work along with his amazing family and countless friends. Dee was passionate about being active and loved biking, running, hiking, and any outdoor activity under the "Blue Dome." He lived life to the fullest, by living "his dash," and is greatly missed.

    The purpose of the race is to honor Dee's memory and a make a thoughtful donation to support local programs important to Dee. over the last 3 years over $80,000 in race proceeds have gone to various Local law enforcement agencies, Weber State University for Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice scholarship programs. We couldn't have done it without you and this year we are hoping for it to be BIGGER and BETTER with your continued support!

    Your race fee(s), donations, are tax deductible. We will email you a donation receipt. Please keep your receipt as it is your official record to claim your donation as a tax deduction.

    Thank you for being a part of Dee's legacy! For more information, please contact us at : liveyourdashdeesmith@gmail.com.
