What Makes It Great

The shortest offering at Behind the Rocks, the 10-miler is designed as an accessible entry point into Moab's trail running scene. It takes runners through a sampling of the varied desert terrain - double track, sandy washes, and slickrock - without the full commitment of the longer distances. It's a solid option for newer trail runners or those wanting a taste of the Behind the Rocks Wilderness Area without an all-day effort.
