Running Up For Air - Moab

Sat April 5, 2025 Moab, UT 84532 US Directions

Cupless Policy/Sustainability Measures

At Running Up For Air, we are striving to put on the most sustainable and responsible race we can.  Following are some of the initiatives we have implemented at our races:

GOLD STANDARD IN WASTE REDUCTION 

Our races utilize composting and recycling and create minimal race waste. On average, our events produce 10 gallons of trash, 30 gallons of  recycling, and 5 gallons of compost.

CUPLESS EVENT

All RUFA races are cupless events and have committed to using no styrofoam or plastic one-time use products.

SHUTTLE SYSTEM/CARPOOLING

We will utilize a shuttling system to transport runners to/from the event. If you choose not to shuttle we ask that you use  human-powered transportation to get to the event.

AIR QUALITY MONITORING

Through our partnership with Purple Air, we install air quality monitors at the base area and at the summit of each route. Runners have access to the AQI continuously in both locations on race day. This allows our runners to decide if they feel safe to run and/or if they want to mask for any portion of the race.

NO SINGLE USE RACE SUPPLIES

All equipment needed for each race is reused year over year and/or at multiple race locations in a given year.

ALL-ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY

No gas generators will be used at 2024 RUFA events.  All events are powered by electric batteries, solar power or plugging in to the local power grid.
