Announcements
**Important update!** - New course modification for our upcoming 2025 event! The newly modified route will send runners down through Fish Canyon from Melendrez Pass and through to the Cave Creek aid Station. Runners will no longer be going through the Greaterville trail and the off trail "wilderness bypass". We're currently working on updating the course map on our website, please check back soon.
Additionally, and as stated in the last two years, we've recently partnered up with Angeles Crest 100, and four tickets will be awarded (1 each) to our first and second place male and female finishers, in our 50 mile event. Allowing them to automatically bypass the Angeles Crest 100 lottery system and gain entry into one of the original 100 milers. Come run our AZ classic 50 miler and you could gain entry into a SoCal classic 100 miler! (registration fees for both races still apply)

Course
Starting at the historic mining site of Kentucky Camp the race takes you into the rugged, rocky shadow of Mt. Wrightson along the Arizona Trail. Looking down at you from 9452’, it is one of the tallest peaks in southern Arizona. You will seldom lose sight of it as you run the course. It is truly a beautiful area. The course itself, consists of a 25 mile loop on forest service roads and trails through the southeastern part of the Santa Rita Mountains (part of the Arizona Trail). Elevation at Start/Finish is 5142 and ranges between 4031 and 6232 with an average grade of 6%. Time limit: 7 hours for 25 miles and 15 hours for 50 miles.
