Embark on an unforgettable adventure at the Thelma and Louise Marathon, Half Marathon, 50K, and 15K, set amidst the breathtaking red rock landscapes of Moab, Utah, on April 25, 2026. This women-focused trail race, organized by Mad Moose Events, invites runners to embrace a spirit of camaraderie and challenge, celebrating friendship and strength in one of the Southwest's most stunning natural settings.

The courses, which include 50K, 26.2M, 13.1M, and 15K distances, traverse the rugged and scenic "Behind the Rocks Trail" area. Runners will navigate a diverse terrain featuring desert jeep tracks, slickrock, sandy washes, and technical doubletrack, all while being surrounded by panoramic views of towering red rock formations, canyon rims, the Colorado River, and the majestic La Sal Mountains. Elevation gains vary by distance, offering a moderate yet demanding experience, with the Marathon climbing approximately 2,644 feet and the 50K ascending roughly 2,979 feet. Typical race day conditions in late April offer comfortable highs around 74°F and lows around 44°F, with a minimal 4% chance of precipitation, providing ideal running weather, especially with early morning starts.

Known for its empowering atmosphere, the Thelma and Louise Marathon provides full on-course support with aid stations, though it operates as a "cup-less event," requiring runners to bring their own hydration vessels. Participants consistently praise the race for its spectacular scenery, well-organized logistics, and the unique, supportive community it fosters. Beyond the personal challenge, the event proudly supports Girls on the Run and the Seekhaven Family Crisis Center, adding a meaningful dimension to your race experience.
