About the Dead Horse Ultra 50 Mile
Dead Horse Ultra is run by Mad Moose Events and is the second race in its Triple Crown of Moab series. The day also includes a 50K, 30K and 15K, and the organizer says the race sells out each year.
Runners get a race shirt, a trucker hat and a finisher medal, and enchiladas are served at the finish. There is no camping at the start area, though a nearby RV park takes reservations.
