Desert RATS Trail Running Festival by UTMB has four unique distances, three days of racing and indescribable views of the desert. There is something for every runner. Enjoy views of the Colorado River as you race through flowy singletrack, climb up the mesa, and take in the vastness of the desert.
Located in the high desert of southwestern Colorado, the course sweeps through desert landscape and red slickrock cliff buttes. Run on the edge of cliffs overlooking the Colorado river and venture up into the mesas. From the 100K to the 10K, each course will bring runners breathtaking views.
With 3 days of racing, a basecamp festival party, a free kid’s race, we’ve got a weekend packed with activities for the whole family. This is more than just a race it’s truly a trail running festival with something for every runner.
For over two decades this race has brought the whole community together for an epic weekend adventure. Whether you’re new to trail or an ultra veteran, you will not want to miss the celebration this April.

Event was really great, the 100k was perfect for me as a first time with a great course, not too much climbing and yet still challenging enough. Aid stations were perfect even though not all had porta potties. Distance between was just right. Medal and swag as with all of the UTMB races was great also.
