ROADLESS AREAS ARE UNDER ATTACK AND OUR TRAILS ARE AT RISK. π¨
Some of the most special places we run, explore, and love are protected because they are roadless and undeveloped. These wild places arenβt just lines on a map they are the trails where we challenge ourselves, connect with nature, build community, and create memories that stay with us for a lifetime.
Now, those protections are under threat. And along with the loss of these wild landscapes, many of the trail races we know and love could also be impacted.
Check out the new interactive map from Runners for Public Lands to see which trail races travel through roadless areas and learn how much of our trail running community depends on these wild places.
For us, this is personal.
Coyote Two Moon Ultras runs through approximately 47.5% remote roadless areas. These rugged, undeveloped mountains are a huge part of what makes Coyote Two Moon such a unique experience. The remoteness, the wilderness, the quiet, and the challenging trails are what make this race what it is.
If these protections are overturned, the character of these lands could change forever. Increased development, roads, and other impacts could fundamentally alter the landscape and potentially put the future of events like Coyote Two Moon Ultras at risk.
That would be devastating.
We believe our public lands should remain wild, accessible, and protected for future generations of runners, hikers, hunters, climbers, and everyone who finds inspiration in these places. Protecting roadless areas means protecting the trails and wilderness experiences we all cherish.

Our trails need a voice. Our wild places need a voice. And right now, we need to use ours.
