2026 Mayhem Night Runs | Maricopa County

Race Information

Mayhem runners get to experience the competitive track on a cool December night, providing a unique trail experience as you share the trail with 50-mile runners from our day race, Frenzy, on your way to the finish line.

The McDowell Mountain Frenzy also happens at this park in the morning of the same day as Mayhem Night Runs. Finish any distance at both races and receive a unique custom medal for completing our Double Down!

Expect cooler conditions during the evening that could dip as the night progresses. Please be prepared for “cold” Phoenix conditions during the night. There's plenty of ice and water but highly recommend that you bring clothing that keeps you warm.
