January Events

Jan 1 NEW YEAR'S DAY

Jan 30 Arches Ultra- the second event in Moab's Triple Crown race and is Moab’s newest trail race, and it travels along the border of Arches National Park, using Bar M, Klonzo, and Klondike Trail Systems. The trails are smooth and easy at points, technical slick rock at others, and there’s even some sand to shake things up. Winter is a great time to be in Moab running, and 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. For info: madmooseevents.com
