The Moab 240 traces a 241.8-mile single loop through some of Utah's most spectacular terrain, starting and finishing in Moab. Runners travel alongside the Colorado River through Lockhart Basin before climbing into the remote Abajo Mountains, then up through the high-altitude La Sal Mountains, returning through canyon country flanked by Canyonlands and Arches National Parks. The course spans extremes from scorching desert flats at 4,000 feet to alpine ridgelines above 11,000 feet, with 15 fully stocked aid stations including five dedicated sleep stations. Created in 2017 in memory of ultrarunner Stephen Jones, it is part of Destination Trail's Triple Crown of 200s and a Western States 100 qualifying race.

Held in early October, the Moab 240 spans dramatically different climate zones. Desert sections near Moab and Lockhart Basin (4,000–5,500 ft) are typically warm and sunny during the day (60–85°F) with cool nights (35–50°F). The Abajo Mountains (8,000–9,000 ft) bring cooler temperatures and possible rain. The La Sal Mountains (up to 11,500+ ft) are the most unpredictable — snow and freezing temperatures are possible in October, and race history includes lows of 7°F and highs of 95°F. Runners must be prepared for full winter conditions in the mountains and desert heat in the canyons, sometimes within hours of each other.
