{tab=Overview }Moab 100 Mile & 50K Endurance Running Races
Moab, Utah
March 23-24, 2013
Experience the beautiful desert landscape of Moab, Utah while testing your own personal limits. From the immense canyons with 1000 foot walls to the beautiful La Sal mountains the town of Moab lies in the midst of it all. Photographers and artists flock to this area for it’s natural beauty while endurance athletes are drawn to the relatively easy access to the remote locations. With an average high of 68 F and an average low of 38 F this is a truly amazing location for endurance races.
This is one of the most family friendly ultras around. Located approximately 20 minutes from town, family and friends are able to support their racer every hour or go into town for a break and visit many of the sites Moab has to offer.
