The Triple Crown of Moab

Welcome to the Triple Crown of Moab, a challenge unlike any other! With stunning landscapes and thrilling trails, Moab is the ultimate destination for ultra-marathoners seeking a true test of their abilities. And with the Triple Crown of Moab race series, you'll have the chance to take on some of the most iconic ultra-marathons.

​

Here's how it works: there are three options to choose from, each requiring you to finish any two of the earlier events (Arches Ultra, Moab's Red Hot, and Dead Horse Ultra), followed by the final event, Behind the Rocks Ultra. This means you can choose the races that suit you best, whether it's the rugged terrain of Dead Horse Ultra or the stunning views of Arches National Park in Arches Ultra.

​

But for those who truly want to challenge themselves, there's the competitive Triple Crown of Moab Series. To be eligible for the top prizes, runners must complete all three events at the 50K distance. It's a tough ask, but the rewards are worth it. The top five men and top five women who complete the competitive Triple Crown of Moab Series will receive special recognition and awards, including cash prizes.
