Race Information

With Ragnar Trail Arizona, you get to grab your camping gear and join an epic running adventure out in the desert at McDowell Mountain Regional Park just outside Phoenix.

Teams of 8 will spend two days and oneβ€”or twoβ€”star-filled nights running 3 beautiful trail loops for 120-ish miles, relay-style. These single-track trails are perfect for all levels of runners and are so sublime you’ll be dreaming about them for weeks. If the trails alone don’t get you hooked, the majestic mountain views and cacti-lined sunsets in this desert oasis will do the trick.
