The Up For Air Series is a collection of endurance events created to support improved air quality, while having fun hiking and running on great trails with good people.  Proceeds from Up For Area events are donated to non-profit groups; the event directors receive no payment.   Salt Lake City resident Jared Campbell started Running Up For Air on Grandeur Peak in 2012, when he became painfully aware of the terrible pollution in the Salt Lake valley, and that the air quality improved when he ran up higher.  He became passionate about bringing attention to this problem and raising funds to improve it. Run Up For Air, Inc. is a 501(C)3, and overseas seven RUFA events in Utah, Colorado, and Washington, all which contribute to this cause.

It is a short and steep course, allowing people to see each other and social

EVENT INFORMATIONRace Date: November 7th & 8th, 2026 We are happy to announce that the Moab Trail Saturday Half Marathon will again be designated as the USATF National Championship! We will also be running Sunday's 1/2 Marathon in addition to the traditional Saturday Races. So, you may run the 1/2 marathon on either Saturday or Sunday (same course, same support, but two separate awards.)  If you want to run the Marathon, 10K or Kids K- they will be offered on Saturday only.  We added the Sunday 1/2 Marathon since Saturdays 1/2 Marathon fills up very early. Please note that all Saturday’s races will likely fill up by early June. There will be a waitlist but please try to sign up early! We expect Sundays 1/2 Marathon to be open until early October (and Sunday’s entry fee is considerably less!).
