Event Description

Join us for a true desert trail experience in the Beaver Dam Mountains Wilderness, accessed from the Cedar Pocket exit.  

Distances:  
• 10K – 5K out & back  
• Half Marathon – 6.55 miles out & back  
• Marathon – Half Marathon course × 2  
• 50K – 7.75 miles out & back, repeated, cutoff time is 10 hours 

Expect rugged dirt roads and trails, sweeping views of red rock cliffs, Joshua trees, and wide-open desert skies. This is classic Arizona Strip running — remote, scenic, and challenging.  

Out-and-back courses mean you’ll get to soak in the landscape twice (or four times if you’re racing the marathon or 50K!).
