Moab Run the Rocks
Moab Run the Rocks is a three-day trail running stage race in Moab, Utah, held March 5 to 7, 2027. The event uses local singletrack and desert terrain around the town and includes three distinct stages named Navajo Rocks, Gemini Bridges, and Bar M.
Participants choose between two stage-race distances that run over the three days. Registration is limited to 700 runners. Packet pickup, pre-race briefings, and some race activities take place in Swanny Park and at Lone Mesa group areas.
- Full Pint: about 47–48 miles (75–77 km), 4,480 ft (1,356 m) vertical gain.
- Half Pint: about 36–37 miles (58–59 km), 2,670 ft (811 m) vertical gain.
Awards are presented for both Full and Half Pint races in categories that include Open Men and Women (under 50), 50+ Men and Women, and 1st to 3rd places in the general classification for each race. Race guidance emphasizes staying on marked trails to protect fragile cryptogamic soil, following course markings, and avoiding litter. The event notes the presence of rattlesnakes on course and provides shuttle service from local hotels during race days. Lost and found items are handled through the race office and may be donated to charity if unclaimed. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
