Arches Marathon
Race Day Weather
Cool start — fast day potential, big temp swing
A cool 46°F at the start line is ideal for fast times — expect to warm up quickly once you're moving. Temps will climb significantly to 67°F by later miles, so expect fading conditions as the race progresses. Light winds shouldn't be a major factor for pacing.

Race Info
The Arches Marathon starts and finishes at the Behind the Rocks Trail south of Moab, Utah, and covers 26.2 miles of sandy double track, jeep road and desert meadow trail. The course loops out to Picture Frame Arch and passes through the Pit aid station twice, with long open stretches between stations and views of the La Sal Mountains from the first climb. It shares its early miles and 7:00 AM gun with the 50K.
