About the race
Pass Mountain Trail Runs takes place on November 14, 2026 at Usery Mountain Regional Park in Mesa, Arizona. The event offers multiple trail distances held on desert terrain around the Goldfield Mountains and within Usery Mountain Regional Park, including climbs on Pass Mountain and sections that pass through parts of the Tonto National Forest.
Distances:
- 50 Mile
- 50K (two 25K loops)
- 25K
- 10K
- 5K
Courses use established trails such as the Levee Trail and Hawes Trail System and include single track, OHV trail sections, sandy wash crossings, exposed rocky and steep terrain, and stretches through Cholla forests. Aid stations are positioned approximately every 3.0 to 8.6 miles and provide water, electrolyte drink, sweet and salty snacks, and fruit. The 50K and 25K note a longer aid-free stretch between Levee Aid and the start/finish; runners are advised to carry sufficient water. This is a cupless race; participants must have a reusable cup or purchase one on site.
Rules differ by distance: pacers are permitted only for the 50 Mile race at specified aid stations, crews have limited access points, and remote drop bags are provided for the 50 Mile. Course marking includes orange ribbons with reflective medallions and laminated signs; wrong-way trails use blue and white checkerboard flagging. Live split tracking, on-site medical staff, post-race food, chip timing, and a gender-specific race shirt are part of the event services. A park entry fee applies per vehicle as posted for the park.
