Established in 1976 with just 22 finishers, including a dog, the Canyonlands Half Marathon has grown significantly over the decades. The 2025 event, marking its 50th anniversary, is set for March 15 in Moab, Utah. Runners can choose between two events: Half Marathon, 5 Mile. Both courses are USATF sanctioned and certified, ensuring accurate distances and a professionally managed race environment. The event concludes with a celebration featuring food, awards, and live music in downtown Moab, fostering a vibrant community atmosphere. Registration is open to all runners, with participation limited to the first 5,000 entries for both races. Given the event's popularity, it's recommended to register early to secure a spot.
