Event details

Moab running at its best! With distances from 15k to 50k, Arches Marathon and Half has become a must attend fall trail running event! Runners begin their race near the beautiful Behind the Rocks Wilderness Study Area.  As all distances make their climb to the first aid station, the stunning La Sal Mountains come into view!  This sandy double track then turns into an awesome jeep road as most distances make their way around to Picture Frame Arch. Cruise through desert meadow trails as you take in the beautiful views all around you! From majestic red cliffs to expansive canyon views, the colorful landscape creates the perfect backdrop for a day on the trails.  

From the south end of Moab, head south approximately 13 miles. You will head out of town on a single lane road. As you begin to head up the first steep hill, the road will open up to a passing lane. Once you get to the top of the hill, the dirt road will be on your right.  The turn is just past mile marker 113.  If you pass the rest area, you have gone too far. Take a right turn, and follow the road approximately 2.5 miles to the start.  You will see the start line on the left hand side.  The dirt road is difficult to spot. The road is technical, but passable for 2WD. Please allow plenty of time to find the start.  You can reference the map below for more information.
