Moab Trailfest Courses

The Pritchett arch loop starts on a downhill dirt road towards Hunters Canyon past some petroglyphs and arches in the distance. This wide road area is the best spot to pass early on. It isn’t too long before runners hop onto some technical single track and do a little bit of climbing to get up out of the canyon.

You’ll run on a mix of dirt road, slick rock, and technical rocky trails. The highlight of the course will be a little out and back to get you up close and personal with Pritchett arch. It is worth it. Also keep your eye out for Funnel arch, Hunter arch, and Window arch.

Starting in the awesome cove of Moab Base Camp, runners will jump on the Bull Run trail, connect to the Getaway trail, and come back on the Gemini Bridges trail.

Terrain will vary between dirt road and slick rock. There are large sections of the trail that are mostly flowy and have a nice weave making them excellent for trail running. 

This is a world class Mountain Biking Trail. As you descend down the trail with a combination of slick rock and technical single track, you’ll get views of Castle Valley with it’s Canyonlands-esque cracks and canyons and distant buttes and rock formations. You’ll also overlook the Colorado River as you run the rim trail down to the water.
