If you've been to Arches, you know that while pictures spark wonder and sweet memories, they just don't do the majesty and magic of the park any justice. If you have not yet been there yet, you're in for a pleasant surprise. Join us as we celebrate its 50th anniversary of being a national park with this unique 5K/10K/Half with the coolest swag around.
Founded as a national park in November of 1971, Arches contains the largest concentration of natural arches on earth. Additionally the park protects diverse ecosystems and an array of cultural sites of the Colorado Plateau. The park has become busier than ever in recent years so in an attempt to celebrate the uniqueness of the area without requiring visits, we are hosting this virtual race that can be done anywhere you want. A virtual race is just like a traditional race where you can run, walk, hike or otherwise go in any way you choose, AND you can do it when and where works best for you.
