Moab 240 Press Release

Moab 240 cancellation

We made the difficult decision to cancel the Moab 240 because of dangerous weather on course.

We're so sorry. We know how much this race means to everyone who trained for it, crewed for it, and volunteered to make it happen. But safety will always come first, and we appreciate everyone for their patience and understanding.
