Canyonlands Ultra is a race that runs on desert trails in Moab, Utah, USA.
It is part of the Run Moab series run by Mad Moose Events, and runs from short trails to long distance ultras on the same weekend.
With half marathon and full marathon, 50km and longer events, you can also experience road marathon distances in desert terrain.
Even though they choose different streets, they have something in common: running through the sandstone landscape of Moab.
Course is a mix of sandy dry water tracks and technical doubletrack.
The representative landscapes introduced by the organizer are the La Sal Mountain Range, a huge sandstone dome, and a wide open canyon.
Not only the bottom of the road, but also the shapes of the distant mountains and nearby rock formations vary from section to section.
Desert trails and rocky terrain form the center of the race, making it more of a running exploration of the nature around Moab.
The landscape that comes to mind with the name of this competition is sandstone terrain rather than city buildings.
In long-distance events, different loops are combined to create course.
Full marathon Since it is a loop that includes a section and a short loop, the way the route is combined is different for each event.
Canyonlands Ultra kicks off the Triple Crown of Moab Series and is also included in the flow of competitions in the same region.
It is the backdrop for the gathering of runners who go beyond completing just one run and continue to visit different trails in Moab.
