Gila Monster Trail Run - Spartan Trail
Race Information
Spartan has done a big jump into the trail running scene through Spartan Trail, creating and partnering with world class events for an outstanding experience.
Just outside of Phoenix, Fort McDowell Rodeo Grounds is home to classic desert trail running. Racers will weave through tall saguaro cactus and epic rock formations on sandy, rolling trails. Though there won’t be huge climbs, the winding trails are rhythm breakers, so technical runners will be rewarded. Runners should also watch for wildlife — snakes, lizards, and even the wild javelina inhabit this desert, so watch your step!
This weekend also features Spartan Obstacle Course Races.
