I ran the Amasa trail run earlier this month. It was probably the most grueling race I've ever run (harder than a full road marathon!) and was also likely the most enjoyable. I love Moab and all the surrounding area. The scenery was incredible and I had good company! I got Natalie Holden, Liz Cala, Elizabeth Labau, Megan Nelson, and Casey May to run the race with me!
Here is the race profile:

While in Moab we had plenty of other fun stuff to do.
