Cupless Events
In an effort to continually lessen our race footprint, we are expanding our cupless events to the Desert Runner Trail Series. We will have UltrAspire reusable cups available at registration and on race day or feel free to bring your own!
Course Summary
The McDowell Mountain Frenzy features courses that include rolling single track, short steep climbs and drops, and the beautiful desert scape within the McDowell Mountain Regional Park and McDowell Sonoran Preserve. The races utilize the competitive tracks and a few newly built trails within the parks (Coach Whip & Dixie Mine).
Desert Runner Trail Series
The McDowell Mountain Frenzy is the third race in the Aravaipa Running Desert Runner Trail Fall Series. The Desert Runner Trail Series has two points divisions: Trail and Ultra. The 25km race at McDowell Mountain Frenzy will score points in the "Trail Series" while the 50km & 50mile races will both score points in the "Ultra Series".
