Running Up For Air - Moab

Running Up For Air - Moab is a timed, looped trail event held April 4, 2026, at the Moab Rim Trailhead. Participants complete as many laps of a short, steep loop as possible within the allotted time in 3 hour, 6 hour, or 12 hour formats. A 3 hour relay is also offered.

The course starts at the Moab Rim Trailhead, climbs the Stairmaster Trail and returns on the adjacent Moab Rim Trail. Stairmaster is a rocky singletrack that gains 890 feet in 0.95 miles. The return uses a 4WD slickrock track of the same distance. Because ascent and descent use different trails, runners stagger and can pass without using the same line.

Race operations follow a minimal footprint and cupless policy. The aid station is at the start and finish at the bottom of the loop and is passed approximately every 2 miles; water, sports drink, and basic food are provided. There is no cell reception at the base and better reception at the turnaround on top. Temperatures are expected to be cool in the morning and warmer by midday.

Logistics notes include no parking at the event site or along Kane Creek Boulevard; a free shuttle departs from Helen M Knight Elementary School. No pets are allowed. Proceeds are split between Run Up For Air, Inc. and the Youth Garden Project, with donors able to designate other partner charities. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
