On 28 February 2026, Moab’s Red Hot Ultra returns for its winter edition near Moab, Utah, featuring four distances—15 km, 33 km, 55 km, and 50 miles (≈80 km)—with substantial elevation gain and a mix of jeep trails and single-track. The course begins northwest of Moab and climbs a jeep road before traversing rim trails, offering sweeping views of the La Sal Mountains to the southeast and Canyonlands National Park to the west. The 50-mile route includes around 7,000 ft (~2,135 m) of elevation gain and is known for its remote terrain, technical trail sections and winter trail conditions. Organized by Mad Moose Events, the Red Hot is part of the Run Moab Series and emphasizes logistics such as cupless aid stations (requiring runners to use reusable cups), mandatory gear for longer distances, drop-bag support and early morning starts (e.g., 6:00 AM for the 50-mile). With its challenging terrain, dramatic scenery and well-supported logistics, this race attracts serious trail runners seeking a winter desert ultra experience.
