Stories from Runnas
The Desert RATS Trail 21k delivers a compact yet intense slice of the Desert RATS Trail Running Festival, taking participants through a vivid journey across the raw, untamed landscapes of the American West, amidst expansive deserts, monumental mesas, and complex canyons. While providing a substantial test of endurance under the searing desert sun, this race also immerses runners in the stark, untamed beauty of the region, offering a potent mix of physical challenge and awe-inspiring vistas, thereby creating a running experience that is as visually stunning as it is physically demanding.
