Join us for Arches Ultra! This bucket-list winter running experience is set in one of the most iconic desert landscapes in the world. Organized by Mad Moose Events, this celebrated event invites runners of all levels to test their grit, endurance, and sense of adventure across a stunning network of high-desert trails.
This unforgettable running event travels along the border of Arches National Park using the Klonzo, Bar M, and Klondike Trail Systems. In places trails will be straightforward, at others rocky and technical, some with sand. This offers a true Moab-style challenge that keeps every mile interesting. Whether you’re chasing a podium finish or simply soaking in the scenery, each route delivers a dynamic mix of terrain.
Winter in Moab is a great time for running, and Arches Ultra highlights exactly why. This lower elevation run provides gorgeous views of Arches NPS. Don’t forget to look for towering Moab cliffs, and the breathtaking, snow-covered La Sal Mountains. Winter in Moab is like nothing you have seen before. Crisp air, fewer crowds, and wide-open trails create the perfect environment for runners. Find your rhythm and truly connect with the landscape.
More than just a race, Arches Ultra is part of Mad Moose Racing’s Triple Crown of Moab race series, making it a must-run event. From the 9K to the Half Marathon, 50K, or demanding 50 Mile, there’s a distance for every runner ready to embrace winter miles in the desert.
