Arches Ultra is a part of the Triple Crown of Moab.

Winter is a great time to be in Moab running!  For Arches Ultra, We've chosen a lower elevation run that will give you views of the towering Moab cliffs, Arches National Park, and the snow covered La Sals.  Arches Ultra travels along the border of Arches National Park, using Bar M, Klonzo, and Klondike Trail Systems.  As an added bonus, experience running past dinosaur tracks in UtahRaptor State Park! It's fun to have variation in a course and all distances at Arches Ultra does just that! The trails are smooth and easy at points, technical slick rock at others, and there’s even some sand to shake things up.

​

Arches Ultra is part of our Run Moab Series. Check out all of our Moab races!

• Water dispensers will be located at the start/finish line and at every aid station.

• Runners can use these to fill bladders, bottles​, and reusable cups
