Cocodona250 - May 6-11, 2024

🏜️ The original epic of the Cocodona name starts at Rock Springs Cafe in Black Canyon City and traverses a continuous 250 mile point-to-point route, ending in Flagstaff, Arizona. Arguably the most diverse 200+miler on the map. Be prepared for a life changing epic adventure.

⛰️ Sedona Canyons 125 - May 8-11, 2024

This 125-mile point-to-point adventure runs the back half of the full Cocodona course. You’ll start in Jerome, run through Sedona, and finish in Flagstaff, alongside runners competing in the 250-miler. Get the best sections of the full course with half the pain.

🌲 Elden Crest 38 - May 10-11, 2024

The last 38 miles of the full Cocodona course is a Tour-de-Flagstaff. Start at Fort Tuthill, run through beautiful Walnut Canyon, up-n-over Mt Elden, and finish in downtown Flagstaff.

Camp, stay, run and play!

Welcome to the 9th annual Big Pine Trail Runs at Fort Tuthill County Park!
Runners will get to experience both the Soldiers Trail and Highlands Trail Loop (6 Km runners will only run on a partial Soldiers Trail loop) which winds through the ponderosa pines above 7,000 ft, eventually topping out on a mesa with expansive views of mountain landscapes before being enveloped back into the trees.
With so much happening in Flagstaff this weekend including Blackout Night Runs the night before and Big Woody Rides on Sunday, the Big Pine weekend is THE best way to kick off your summer.
Bring the family and we hope to see you there!

It’s the original costumed ultra trail run party in the desert…

It’s the world famous, Javelina Jundred presented by Hoka!

The race is held on a 20 mile rolling single track trail course comprised mostly of the Pemberton Trail in beautiful McDowell Mountain Regional Park near Fountain Hills, Arizona. Runners will take on 100 miles, 100k or a nighttime 31k dubbed “Jackass Night Trail” on a looped course in the gorgeous Sonoran Desert.

Come dressed in your best and be ready to party at the one and only, Javelina Jundred!
