Race Information
Started in 2004 as a fall companion to the popular Canyonlands Half Marathon, Arches Half Marathon has hosted many runners on the road course. In 2021, Arches became a trail event. The new course features beautiful red rock formations, views of the snow-covered La Sal Mountains and the awe-inspiring Behind the Rocks Wilderness Study Area. A marathon division has been added and the cutoffs extended. The race currently also offers a 50K so you can see more of the Moab desert and finish an ultra!
