About the event

Arches Ultra Winter is the perfect time to run in Moab! For Arches Ultra, we’ve chosen a lower-elevation course that offers stunning views of the towering Moab cliffs, Arches National Park, and the snow-capped La Sal Mountains. The race takes you along the border of Arches National Park, using the Bar M, Klonzo, and Klondike Trail Systems. As an added bonus, you'll run past dinosaur tracks in Utahraptor State Park! It’s always exciting to have variety in a course, and all distances at Arches Ultra deliver just that. The trails range from smooth and easy to technical slickrock, with a little sand to keep things interesting.
