Course and logistics

The course is an out-and-back on well-graded dirt roads through the desert landscape of Saguaro National Park West. The event start is at the intersection of Kinney Road and Hohokam Road. Parking is along Kinney Road; participants are asked to enter Kinney Road from Milewide Road and to exit to Sandario Road after the event. Attendees who plan to stay in the park afterwards should move their vehicles to a designated parking area rather than leaving them on Kinney Road. Roads may be rough in places, so strollers with wheels suited to rough terrain are noted as more appropriate. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
