Welcome to Behind the Bib, UltraSignup’s video series that brings you behind the bib of races around North America.
In this episode, we follow Izzy as she takes on Moab Run the Rocks for the fourth year in a row. Moab Run the Rocks is a multi-day trail running stage race that highlights the region’s iconic desert singletrack, slickrock, and red rock terrain and scenery. The event features “Full Pint” and “Half Pint” stage race formats over three days, with courses traversing well-known Moab trail systems such as Navajo Rocks, Gemini Bridges, and Bar M. Runners encounter flowing singletrack, sandy washes, rolling slickrock, punchy climbs, and technical desert terrain surrounded by towering sandstone formations and expansive canyon views.
