Discover Arizona Mining Country
The Copper Corridor Trail Runs depart from the old mining town of Superior, Arizona which serves as the start & finish line. Runners will head West of town towards Arnette Canyon where they will enter a riparian wonderland of flowing creeks, towering rock formations and dense sycamore trees.
31 Km entrants will traverse the length of Arnett to Picketpost Trailhead and get a taste of the Arizona Trail for two miles before returning back to town. 50 Km runners will continue South bound on the Arizona Trail for a circumnavigation of the mighty Picketpost Mountain before making their way back to Superior to finish on Main Street!
