Course and logistics

The loop starts at the Moab Rim Trailhead, climbs the Stairmaster Trail then returns on the adjacent Moab Rim Trail. Stairmaster is a rocky singletrack that gains 890 feet in 0.95 miles. The descent is on a 4WD slickrock track of the same distance. The aid station is at the Start/Finish at the bottom and is passed roughly every 2 miles; water, sports drink, and basic food are provided. The event follows a cup-free, minimal-footprint policy. There is no parking at the event site or along Kane Creek Blvd; a free shuttle departs from Helen M Knight Elementary School. There is no cell reception at the base, but reception is available at the turnaround on top. Pets are not allowed. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
