Moab Trail Marathon

🏃‍♂️ Event Information

Race Date: November 8th & 9th, 2025

• Half Marathon Option: We are happy to announce that we will again be running Sundays 1/2 Marathon in addition to the traditional Saturday Races. So, you may run the 1/2 marathon on either Saturday or Sunday (same course, same support, but two separate awards).
• Marathon Details: If you want to run the Marathon, 10K or Kids K- they will be offered on Saturday only.
• Early Registration: We added the Sunday 1/2 Marathon since Saturdays 1/2 Marathon fills up very early.
• Registration Timeframe: Please note that all Saturday’s races will likely fill up by early June. We expect Sundays 1/2 Marathon to be open until early October (and Sunday’s entry fee is considerably less!).

📍 Location

Event takes place in the spectacular and beautiful Kane Creek Canyon area near Moab, Utah.

🚗 Directions to Race Venue

Heading south on Main Street Moab, turn right on Kane Creek Blvd which is at the McDonald’s. Continue, staying left at the one fork after about a mile, to continue on Kane Springs Road. You’ll follow alongside the Colorado River for just over 3 miles until the road turns from pavement to dirt. The venue/start/finish area is in the Kane Creek parking lot, on the right. Packet pickup parking will be just beyond the venue area between 2pm and 6pm on Friday.

🅿️ Race Day Parking

NO on-site parking on race days (Saturday or Sunday). All participants must take the shuttle to/from the start or be dropped off by a friend/family member. Shuttles will leave from the south side of HMK Elementary School (located at North 400 East and Mi Vida). Please park at the school, Swanny Park, along the streets near the school, or designated parking lots (but not on private property).
