The Pass Mountain Trail Run is the second race in the Aravaipa Running – Desert Runner Trail Series, Arizona’s premier trail & ultra run series.

RACE INFORMATION

2022 Update: 10 Km (and possibly 5K) runners may need to park off-site for the race. There will be a shuttle provided from a nearby parking lot to the starting area, typically 10 minutes or so away. As we near the race date, a final announcement will be made for this.

We will once again have the shuttle running between parking lots within the Usery Mountain Regional Park to better assist you all in getting to the start line. The shuttle will run from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. and the distance from the parking to the start/finish line is just under 1 mile.
50K runners & some 25K runners will likely be able to park in the main “Trailhead Staging Area” parking lot and not have to shuttle. Once this lot is full, everyone will be directed into lots C & D to be shuttled over. Please add this in to your arrival time to the start line.

Course Summary
Features winding trails throughout Usery Mountain Regional Park on the edge of the Goldfield Mountain Range. The start/finish will be at the Trail head Staging area.

The 25 Km course will return to its typical loop this year which includes some super fun trails through Cholla Forests, on the Levee Trail with perfect views of Pass Mountain and the Superstition Mountain range before climbing all the way up Pass Mountain in the Tonto National Forest. You’ll be treated to quite a view at the top before winding your way all the way back to the finish line.
The 50 km course consists of two 25K loops, returning through the finish at the halfway point, including a scenic loop around Pass Mountain in the Tonto National Forest.
