Event Description

To celebrate the inaugural year of Aravaipa's epic 250-mile trail race, the Cocodona 250, we're bringing a slice of Arizona to you! Inspired by the week-long in-person event, the Cocodona Virtual Experience is your chance to rack up 250+ miles on your local trails or treadmill, starting the same day the in-person racers hit the trail. For our virtual runners, the party goes on all month, and then some. You'll have five weeks to log your total distance, with exciting milestones up for the taking along the way as you run virtually from Black Canyon City to Flagstaff, AZ.

This second event in our virtual SLAM Series is truly a journey like no other. Each week during the event, runners will be guided on their journey through the Cocodona 250 course by receiving a weekly email detailing sections of the course in roughly 50 mile sections. In addition to the weekly email, there will be a weekly livestream on the Aravaipa Running Youtube Channel. These check-ins will include photos from the race course, and much more, to give you a fully immersive experience from wherever you are in the world.

A Journey Unlike Any Other

The Cococdona Virtual Experience is a fully immersive virtual event designed to take runners on the journey of the most scenicly diverse 250+ mile race in the country, the Cocodona 250.  Join us on this 5-week journey as we take you through some of the most scenic and beautiful places Arizona has to offer.

This virtual journey will take runners from the spines of the Sonoran Desert in Black Canyon City up into the pines of Northern Arizona, ultimately finishing up in Flagstaff.
