The race

What this one is

Moab's Red Hot takes place northwest of Moab, Utah, just west of Arches National Park. Runners enjoy majestic views of the La Sal Mountains to the southeast and breathtaking panoramas of Canyonlands National Park to the west. The race begins with a climb up a jeep road, offering stunning views of Arches National Park, then continues on a mix of jeep trails and singletrack.

What began as a simple group run on Moab trails has grown into something truly special. Twenty one years later, Moab's Red Hot has become a winter tradition, one that continues to draw runners back year after year, from first-timers to some of the most respected names in trail running.
