MOAB, UT, UNITED STATES, June 11, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The John Wayne Grit Series Half Marathon & 10K trail run/walk returns to Moab, Utah, on Saturday, September 27, 2025, offering participants the chance to experience the rugged beauty where the John Wayne filmed Comancheros and Rio Grande while raising funds to fight cancer. The event benefits the John Wayne Cancer Foundation (JWCF) and supports its mission to lead the fight against cancer by funding innovative cancer research, education, awareness, and support programs.

Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Red Cliffs Lodge and the red rock canyons of eastern Utah along the Hollywood Equestrian Trails, this event isn’t just a race—it’s an opportunity to channel the grit of John Wayne and help outrun cancer on trails once traversed in iconic Western films.
