Moab Run the Rocks- 3 Day Stage Race

[@mikerockwood8988]

Thirty minutes of Duzer positivity is just what I needed today. Thanks, Ryan!

[@duzer]

Yay!! Glad you enjoyed this one. Cheers

[@michaelbroyer3918]

As a backpacker and mountain biker I still found joy watching this video. I am not a runner. I hike. I pedal. I hike n bike. But your channel and joy of life is important to me. Thank you Duzer!!

[@duzer]

Awe!!! I appreciate this so much. Thank you!!

[@camponographics8327]

Bummed I missed it this year but I’m usually the crazy mtber/photographer for this. Maybe next year! Thanks for shinning a light on these people! They are an awesome group of humans

[@bobdole2112]

Can I echo Melissa's praise from the video? I don't even like running - but your videos are "must watch tv". I watch too much tv - but this is the best thing I've watched since - well your last video!! Absolutely love your channel! Keep being Out There Ryan!!

[@Veera-family]

Ryan, just wanted to say thank you for sharing that awesome running video. It was really inspiring!

[@chrisbailey2861]

Melissa took the words right out of my mouth....I'm pretty sure she was relaying what everyone else thinks as well. Thx for bringing us along Ryan!!!

[@neatkefe]

Seeing that kid cross the finish legit made me cry a litte bit. What an achivement!

[@duzer]

Everyone was so excited for him

[@heathervita4320]

Me too!!

[@leabiasutti8650]

And he kept running! 🙂

[@PatrickMartin-lw7tu]

Way to go Jack!!!!! Oh yeah, this race is now on my list!

[@VaLaFora-ws1bm]

I just want let you know how much you inspire! I'm a Brazilian 53 yo and you make all the difference. I see your joy even facing pain and cheering people. Keep up, brow! You are awesome! I mean it!

[@rcboy42]

That was so awesome. I would love to see Ryan Van Duzer's wall of medals.

[@duzer]

They’re actually all in a drawer ;)

[@jaroslav522]

What a race. Brutal, but beautiful. And that kid Jack, he’s amazing. You too, Ryan. Congratulations. Great job. Great video. I really enjoyed it. J.🙂🇨🇿

[@duzer]

Thanks for watching! It's beautiful out there, which makes the rough terrain a little easier to deal with ;)

[@danaderichsweiler8939]

You and pink shorts back and forth. You are so strong Ryan!

[@duzer]

He was a good pace rabbit ;)

[@brothermayihavesomeloops7048]

Looking forward to watching this later! Thanks to you and PNWBikepacking, I'm finally taking the step beyond watching you guys on youtube, and actually reading about the logistics of making a bikepacking adventure happen for myself!!!

[@duzer]

Love that!! You're gonna LOVE it out there. Happy trails

[@katrinahase]

Great to see the landscapes of Moab! That place owns a piece of my heart ❣Kudos to Jack and family: not only is he an exceptional kid, but clearly has a loving family.

[@peterbedford2610]

"Every now and then, the fire gets lit....". So true

[@duzer]

It sure does!! Zoooooom!

[@heathervita4320]

That landscape - wow! I would love to hike there. Also Jack…that is a massive accomplishment. Way to go. Duzer…thank you for cheering on everyone but especially this young man. He’s got a great role model in you (and obviously his Dad)

[@dr3dr3x52]

Love Moab races. Mad Moose also puts on some great events there and their race directors are gems as well 😊

[@duzer]

Trail runner RD’s are so chill

[@SeeChadRun]

How cool and what fun! Jack is so inspirational and amazing! Thanks for sharing this experience with us.

[@raykleiner3151]

Stunning!

[@derelictxci]

Generally prefer watching your biking videos, but I enjoyed watching this. I'm more a sprinter than a long distance jogger, your stamina is enviable.

[@keithweathermon531]

Thanks for the inspiration Duzer! Love Moab and will be there in October for the 240!

[@duzer]

Oh wow!! That’s a big one. Enjoy

[@keithweathermon531]

@@duzer2024 is the year of courage. It takes as much energy to dream big as it does to dream small. 😊 Hope to see you down in the Barancas again next March amigo!

[@davidhayward1261]

Yet another brilliant video. Thanks 🎉👍🏃🏻‍♂️

[@duzer]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@robjackson4597]

Ryan. This is the most inspirational running video I have ever seen. What an amazing event. Thanks for sharing and motivating us all to be our best!

[@fdesilva]

Love your videos! This is so inspiring, keeps my spirits up while I’m laid up from leg surgery, can’t wait to hit the trails again!

[@duzer]

Oh no! I hope that you heal up soon!

[@barriowolf]

Thank you, Ryan, for another incredibly groovy video. I appreciate the sights of Moab and look forward to meeting some of those tremendous people one day. Maybe, one day I'll find the courage to attempt such a trek. Your video provides plenty of inspiration.

[@duzer]

I hope that you give something like this a go someday. Cheers, my friend

[@MJKOLODZIK]

Wow, great effort top (5). When the pain drain hits, I have to take some pure mineral caps with water. The boron, magnesium and copper really helps a bunch.

[@paulashealthyliving]

I did the half pint. You were really able to capture the beauty of the land and the special vibe of this event. ps.. I never fell during the race but did a face plant in the parking lot on day two. Hadn't even had any fireball yet. I blame the sun in my eyes.

[@calebquimby]

I like the saying about getting to do this and choosing to do this! Many people I know would not do this willingly. I on the other hand live for this!

[@HikePaddleRoll]

Good times! This is my backyard.. I don't run these trails, only ride.. Looked like a great time. Type 2 fun!

[@duzer]

Your backyard is the best!

[@Yaketyyak21]

Well,done Jack👏👏👏👏👏

[@danaderichsweiler8939]

How bout that Jack!! What a beautiful course. Whew that hurt my legs watching.

[@duzer]

He’s a tough little dude

[@ITSBIGBOY]

I love the Egyptian on the run Ryan !!

[@duzer]

Me too!! He cracked me up

[@ITSBIGBOY]

Thanks for always taking us along Ryan , you are amazing friend

[@duzer]

My pleasure!! Thanks for watching

[@pollycastelo9556]

[@davidtcollins1565]

[@monique6604]

[@duzer]

Jack is the star of this one

[@bobwallis1757]

Ryan, You are AMAZING!!!!

[@PumpkinVillage]

Nice content. Jack and his Dad were awesome. Nice results on the race. Take care, Al

[@duzer]

They're a dynamic duo!

[@streglof]

How you guys are able to walk AND talk is so impressive!

[@GilsonBaluntong]

I'm smiling all the time watching your videos!

[@dan0368]

Quite the variety lately, love it!

[@duzer]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@eddiesedventures...3106]

Wow, what's not to love about Moab? blue skes! unlike... and impressive 12yr old kid! Happy Easter amigo!

[@duzer]

It’s truly a beautiful area

[@TriGeek1406]

Loved this video Duzer. Gonna add this race to my bucket list.

[@duzer]

[@MichaelMatthews-gu5gz]

Great run Ryan, looks like fun.

[@stephenjordanesk8]

Woot! Happy Easter!

[@Loves2smoodge]

Yours is some of the best content. Thanks, Ryan.

[@ericramosmd]

What a great event!!!

[@rneillmojo]

Very nice trip

[@wilmertsch]

I liked what you said, running should be fun, Exactly!

[@eddiereyeshome]

As usual, we loved your video! We were in Moab the same time as you but we were doing the 4 day bike event there. You should check it out, it's a bunch of climbing, great views and the people are great! Hope to see you at Skinny Tire Festival 2025!

[@nancyroberts9776]

Really enjoyed this. Your show always makes me happy😁

[@rabh6746]

Incredible landscapes and what an effort Ryan, that was some tough terrain! How inspiring is young Jack? what an effort at such a young age👌Awesome video and awesome people throughout the video😊

[@KookaburraComedyHour]

Go Duzer Go! 😊

[@duzer]

I’m going!! 😂😂

[@printerror]

Maaaaan you're seriously making me want to up my running game and come try one of these desert runs!

[@kevbutler81]

Looks amazing 😁

[@leabiasutti8650]

Wow! That kid rocks!

[@duzer]

He does indeed!

[@jenniferduncan2074]

Hallucinated SO bad during Moab 240 in this area so I am misremembering the landmarks. Had to descend Jacob's (Jackson's) ladder in the dark. Thanks for letting me know about this race. I'd love to see some of this in the day time-without seeing my cat and "people" taking pictures of the eclipse.

[@martinschwartz7342]

Thanks for a wonderful video with beautiful scenery. I really watched this video because you are a great person and storyteller. Running is okay but two feet can’t compete with two wheels on the fun factor.

[@duzer]

Bikes are definitely fun! Next time I go to Moab I’ll be biking

[@lesliedykstra4014]

Jack is amazing!!!

[@duzer]

He sure is

[@sapinva]

Awesome result. What's weird about running is you could to the longest stage in 6 hours with a comfy walking pace, and just over an hour on a bike.

[@duzer]

Bikes are indeed the speedier mode of transport

[@hemaccabe4292]

Happy Easter!

[@duzer]

Same to you!

[@stevewheeler1575]

Just became part of my bucket list for 2025!

[@duzer]

It’s a good one for the bucket list

[@albertoguerra3351]

What a fantastic Race!!!😅🎉🎉🎉

[@duzer]

It really is

[@iltapuhde]

That looked really fun! I'd love to do such a run also! and what an amazing young boy!🙌😃❣🥳

[@earthbiker]

I love it man; never miss a video; keep it up bruh.

[@duzer]

Appreciate that so much!

[@harrygrimley4352]

Oh my gosh. I would so love this. Im not in good enough shape but i would try. I love cross country. And with fun people!!! 😜

[@seattlegrrlie]

It's been awhile since I was a volunteer for a run. I should sign up for one. It's waaaaaaay more fun than running in one😉

[@andrewcorwin2275]

I am so excited to bump into you in Ragbrai this year, but now I got to ride with Jack…if I can keep up

[@duzer]

Jack will be with us this year as well, hopefully you’ll meet him ;)

[@hibiru6868]

Moab seems like a great place for winter running and biking. I think I need to give that a try. Would you recommend gaiters to keep sand out of your shoes or just know it's going to happen and be mentally prepared?

[@PJL7095]

Good job Jack! Even drink the Silk

[@duzer]

He's #1

[@jbgood71]

Jack is a beast!!!

[@keneppink7272]

Nope! my knees hurt just watching!!!

[@resurgem]

Sadly, so do mine.

[@duzer]

I take the pain so you don’t have to feel it 😂

[@COMPUBYTE100]

Saludos desde Oaxaca compadre

[@robertsanders8866]

Awesome video! Cool place for a race!

[@duzer]

It’s the coolest place for anything ;)

[@tommyamaya4254]

Love your channel I know you love running but I rather see you on your bike buddy ❤ it

[@duzer]

I love both sports equally. Thanks for watching

[@bluedogdreaming]

Are those big horn sheep running across the upper right at about 14:04!!?? Great video!

[@duzer]

They are indeed! Good eye

[@slam_mtbc]

I LOVE MOAB

[@duzer]

Me too ;)

[@walterlippmann4361]

Get dat boy a sponsorship deal right away

[@shashankrao8791]

Hi, can you share your diet during your training days or off cycle tour days

[@MojaveZach]

love the running vids!

[@duzer]

Glad to hear it, running is my 1st love ;)

[@mitchwarren1600]

So Ryan you must have done the whole enchilada? I’ve only been to the US once and Moab was my destination.

[@onelove8062]

I wonder if since a 6 week cycle tour brought me from 5 miles to 10 miles, if an 8 month cycle tour would bring 13 miles up to 26. I'd love to complete at least one regular marathon and if I like it then some smaller ultras, just to know I did it before getting too old

[@crookedsmilegang]

amazing and beautiful video as always. :)

[@duzer]

Thank you very much!

[@donaldwhitehurst807]

What kind of trail running shoes do you prefer? Any recommendation?

[@MichaelMatthews-gu5gz]

Now I'm more into e-biking now I can go farther ever before.

[@MM-vx4ml]

great vid. looked like you were pounding on hard stuff the whole way, what shoes were you wearing?

[@duzer]

My go to shoes are the Hoka Speedgoats

[@MM-vx4ml]

thanks!@@duzer

[@MJKOLODZIK]

Curious how long your warm up lap is to find a groove pace ? I feel that cycling is about 2-2 1/2 miles and I'm there for the next 40.

[@cliff6789]

Any one got tips on how to deal with dogs chasing when out rideing a bike?

[@kerrymblanchard9189]

Moab loves Peter Pan!

[@duzer]

I actually didn’t see a Peter Pan out there, only dinos, aliens, and even King Tut

[@everhernandez8452]

🏅 🎉🙌

[@ridewithdanusa]

Whats up with everyone trying to get you married and with kids. 😂

[@duzer]

Haha!! It’s getting out of hand 😂😂

[@Punkyrooster6]

Good video. Better than an SSRI. Haha

[@duzer]

Thanks!! 😊

[@RickKanesGhost]

Anybody else see the two aliens running off the top right of the screen at 14:06?

[@duzer]

Those were real aliens 😂

[@Shwinky]

Bro fireball while running is a nogo lol

[@54andBored]

Running 🥵

[@edinelsonramirez5656]

They must have a lot of sprained ankle injuries! :( *It's a super-long & unforgiving terrain no thanks!
