The Flagstaff Extreme Big Pine Trail Runs take place at Fort Tuthill County Park in Flagstaff, AZ. The event features multiple trail distances:

  • 50K
  • 27K
  • 13K
  • 6K

This is the 11th annual Big Pine Trail Runs. The overall race cutoff is 5:00 PM. Live split tracking and chip timing are provided. Awards are given to the top three male and female finishers at each distance; all finishers receive a race-branded campfire mug or a wooden finisher award.

Course and logistics

Courses use the Soldiers Trail and Highlands Trail Loop through ponderosa pine forest above 7,000 ft and include a mesa section with long views. Trails vary from narrow single track to wider forest paths. The 27K runs two loops of the 13K circuit; the 50K follows additional trails out toward Rogers Lake, returns through the start/finish area around mile 22–23, then completes a final 13K loop. Aid stations are spaced roughly every 4 to 7 miles and offer water, an electrolyte drink, sweet and salty snacks, and fruit. Pacers are allowed only for the final loop of the 50K; crews are permitted at the start/finish area only. Drop bags are allowed at the start/finish and available on each loop. Festival-style tent camping is offered near the course; vehicle parking is in a nearby lot, not at individual tents. Medical staff are based at the start/finish.
