Race planning
Plan Moab 240
Use the listed edition as your starting point. Each tool keeps imported race facts separate from the targets and assumptions you choose.
This edition was called off mid-race. These details are for reference; confirm a future edition before making a plan.
Edition notes: The 2026 race was called off on October 11 because of severe weather, about 56 hours into the 113-hour limit. Before the race, on September 24, the organizer rerouted the Porcupine Rim to finish section around construction on Highway 128; the 2026 runner manual gave 243.5 miles and a cutoff of 11:00 PM on Tuesday, October 13. The page checked October 23 now advertises 2027 with 241.8 miles and 112 hours; those figures should not replace the rerouted 2026 specifications.
