Explore Arizona's Wild West Country

The Vulture Mine Trail Runs are staged out of the Flying E Ranch - a guest ranch and working cattle ranch within the City limits of Wickenburg, Arizona. This private ranch has numerous trails and jeep roads criss crossing its lands giving a taste of the wild west.

Race Information

Welcome to the INAUGURAL Vulture Mine Trail Runs in 2020! We've been wanting to put on a race in Wickenburg for many years but we were waiting to discover just the right venue for us to use. Well, we found it! The Flying E Ranch encompasses over 20,000 acres of Sonoran desert ranch lands with trails, jeep track and more. This is a literal trail runners playground!

With a race start & finish right in the Ranch's western town, camping available onsite and a 26 guest room ranch just up the hill from the staging area this is perfect running retreat during an ideal time of year to visit and run in the desert all day and night.
