Canyonlands Half Marathon & 5-Mile Run

Canyonlands Half Marathon & 5-Mile Run on March 21, 2026 is a 50+ year running tradition in Moab, Utah. Mad Moose Events hosts this iconic 'bucket list' race featuring stunning red rock canyon scenery along the Colorado River, mentioned in Runner's World UK as one of 'The World's Greatest Races.'

Half marathon starts 8:15am, 5-mile starts 8:35am, with strict 15:30/mile pace cutoff enforced at aid stations for safety/permitting reasons.
