Dust off the festive season with a winter desert trail race at the base of the Gila Mountains. It's a fast, fun, rugged course for runners and families of all ages.
The Events
6-Mile Trail Run · 9:00 AM
A scenic out-and-back on mostly single-track through the Sonoran Desert and sweeping views around Telegraph Pass. Challenging for seasoned trail runners, yet approachable for first-timers. All levels and paces welcome! An aid station is provided at the base to help fuel your way up, and you will pass it again for the final stretch to the finish. Children aged 10-13 must be accompanied at all times by an adult.
