Arizona Monster 300
The Arizona Monster 300 is a point-to-point ultramarathon through Southern Arizona's Sonoran Desert. The route runs from Patagonia, AZ to Superior, AZ and covers 300.5 miles on a mix of desert and mountain trails.
Course details list an elevation gain of 32,386' and an elevation loss of 33,840', with 19 aid stations spaced along the route. The event uses National Forest Lands and has a total cutoff of 150 hours.
The Sonoran Desert on this route has subtropical warmth in winter and two seasons of rainfall. That climate pattern produces strong contrasts between dry and moist areas and supports diverse plant and animal life. The course passes through rugged backcountry terrain and higher elevation mountain areas that are noted on the route description.
A payment plan option is available through UltraSignup for those who register. The organizer provides course maps, a runner manual, and published results for past years. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
