The finale, three day adventure race incorporating mountain biking, paddling, trekking... and much more...

he kickoff to the Adventure Xstream Adventure Race Series, the Moab 12 hour is a prime example of what adventure racing is all about.

More than 100,000 mountain bikers come to Moab, UT to ride the world-famous "Slick Rock" bike trails each year. Erosion, along with the Colorado River, has split open the one-time ocean floor, revealing interesting rock formations that today are enjoyed by mountain bikers. In the summer months, riders have to hit Moab's trails early as temperatures often exceed 100 degrees.
