We will meet at the dirt road that leads up to Quartz Mtn off of White Spar. This is a no-drop group run (we stop at every intersection and allow everyone to catch up before continuing). Expect 5ish miles. We will follow the dirt road up to the trail and jump on the trail up to the mountain and back down. Amazing views of Prescott from the top!

Coordinates for parking (anywhere along the dirt road): 34.5125618, -112.4773689 (will also post in the comments to make it easier for copy/paste into map apps!)

Trail 33 at Thumb Butte picnic area. Go up the paved side and down the dirt side. Do as many loops as you like. One loop is just a tad under two miles. Parking is free on Wednesday.

It's possible nobody will show up, but there is a pretty solid group of non-facebook users attending.

Meet in front of La Planchada at 5:30, run/walk with a group, or at your own pace. Join back for food and drink! Most run along the creek trail to Granite Creek Park and do 1-4 laps and return.

No drop group run (we stop at every intersection and wait for everyone to join together again). Expect 5ish miles. Bring a light :)

This trail is an out and back and great for running in the dark because the lights of the city look beautiful on the way back - and it's a full sun trail so nice to run it in cooler temps!

We will park along Walker Road instead of parking in the parking lot for the trail (the trail will close while we are out running and we don't want our cars locked in - but there are several areas to park along Walker Rd. near the trailhead entrance).
