The Daydreamer
The Daydreamer is a trail running event in Patagonia, Arizona on February 6, 2027. It offers multiple distances and runs from and back to the town center, sending participants into nearby hills and on sections of the Arizona Trail.
Distances
- 50K (34.8 miles, 3,307 ft gain)
- 30K (19.7 miles, 3,307 ft gain)
- Half marathon
- 10K (6.1 miles, 145 ft gain)
The 50K is a point-to-point route with remote sections and five aid stations; there is a 4 hour and 15 minute cut-off to reach Aid Station 2 at mile 14. Key unsupported stretches on the 50K include miles 3–13 and 17–27, each about 10 miles. The 30K follows the same opening miles, has three aid stations, and includes a long gap without aid between mile 3 and 13. The 10K is a shorter, faster trail option with one full aid station.
Support includes stocked aid stations with water and electrolytes, on-site medical coverage, post-race massage stations, and food trucks. Hydration systems are required for the 30K and 50K because of the long aid gaps. Spectators and support crews are not permitted on course.
The event program includes a community dinner the night before, live music, and a handmade event mug included with registration. Organizers promote minimal waste and provide wash stations for reusable plates and utensils. Lodging and camping options are listed locally, including discounted hotel rooms and nearby dispersed camping. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
