On 28 March 2026, the Behind the Rocks Ultra returns to Moab, Utah, with multiple distances that cater to trail-runners seeking both challenge and scenic desert terrain. The event is based at the start/finish area on the Behind the Rocks Trail and offers courses of 10 miles, 30 km, 50 km and the ultra 50 mile. The routes traverse desert singletrack, sandy washes, technical double-track and rim trails that provide expansive views of Navajo sandstone domes and the La Sal Mountains. Especially the 50-mile course is among the more challenging in the region, demanding strong pacing, navigation, and endurance across remote terrain. With limited cell service on parts of the course, substantial elevation gain, and long distances between aid stations, the event blends high-endurance competition with the natural solitude of Utah’s iconic landscapes.
