The race

What this one is

Canyonlands Ultra is part of Mad Moose Events' Run Moab Series, run from the Behind the Rocks trailhead south of Moab, Utah, with distances from 15K to 100K. The course runs through sandy washes and technical double track, with views of the La Sals, sandstone domes and canyons. Every distance starts and finishes at the same line.

The 2026 race is the fourth annual Canyonlands Ultra. Beginning in 2025 it became the kickoff to the Triple Crown of Moab series, three Moab events between October and March.

Ultras change. We will tell you when this one does.

Cutoffs move, races get postponed, lotteries open and close. We read the race's own sources and record where every fact came from. Put your email in and we will send you what changed, and where we read it.

No account, and nothing to cancel.

What happens to your email. Nothing else. I do not sell it, and I will not send you anything except this race changing. One click gets you out.

I keep this catalog because the information is scattered and hard to trust. Telling you when it moves is the same job.
