MOAB 240 2026

Head to the legendary lands of Moab, in the United States 🇺🇸. This program invites you to take on a sacred monster of the ultra-distance world: the terrifying Moab 240. Forget everything you know about "classic" trail running; here we're talking 240 miles (about 386 km) to be covered in a single non-stop stage. Your body will have to absorb brutal temperature swings, going from the furnace of the canyons to the ice of the mountains, all while running on a sleep deficit that will have you seeing pink elephants on the trail! ⏱️

The path of red dust and slickrock (that smooth rock typical of the region) throws you into a movie-set landscape, between the national parks of Canyonlands and Arches. Your effort will carry you upward into the majestic La Sal Mountains, rising to over 3,000 meters, before plunging back down into the labyrinths of ochre sandstone. The immersion becomes total when night falls and you find yourself alone before the vast starry expanse, navigating among millennia-old cliffs 🏔️.

Forget stadium vibes: here, the soul of the race lies in the aid stations (aid points) that look like small tent villages lost in the middle of nowhere, where volunteers treat you like a hero between two far-too-short naps. Solidarity between runners is vital in this hostile desert, where hallucinations become your traveling companions. An atmosphere of release and absolute triumph greets you on the return to Moab, where crossing the line after dozens of hours of effort makes you a living ultra legend 🏅.

Save one last survival instinct to honor American "Outdoor" culture once your body finally comes to a stop. Carry your swollen legs to a local diner to devour a huge, dripping burger and sweet potato fries, all washed down with a craft beer from a microbrewery in Utah .
