Field size is limited by the land use permit and the race usually sells out, so register early. Prices rise during the registration window (see UltraSignup), and entries cannot be transferred.

Slower than most US trail 15Ks
The fastest quarter of the 2026 15K field finished under 2:03:16, against 1:33:44 in a typical US trail 15K, so times here run 32 percent slower.
Compares the fastest quarter of each field, so walkers and first-timers do not skew it. It reflects the course and the field together: a flat course, cool weather, or a competitive crowd all make times faster.
What runners should know about Amasa Trail Race, in brief, from the official race website.
Schedule and packet pickup
There is no pickup the day before. Bibs are handed out at the Kane Creek Recreation lot on Saturday, April 10, 2027 from 6 to 6:55 a.m.; bring a photo ID. All three distances start together at 7 a.m.
Parking and travel
Follow Kane Creek Road west from Moab until the pavement ends; the lot is on the right after the cattle guard. Attendants direct parking, and cars should pull in rather than back into spaces.
Shirt and medal
Every runner gets a race shirt and a finisher medal, with snacks and drinks at the finish.
Rules and FAQ
Aid stations are cupless, so runners bring a reusable cup or bottle. Cutoff times apply, and the timing chip must be worn on the shoe.
