Flagstaff Loop Trail 45 Miler

The Flagstaff Loop Trail 45 Miler is scheduled for October 10, 2026, in Flagstaff, Arizona, at the Schultz Creek Trailhead. The event is a 45-mile trail race held on local trails around Flagstaff.

This event is run in an unofficial "fatass" style, which means there is no entry fee and resources are limited. All participants are required to bring a contribution such as cookies, chips, Gatorade, or a similar item. Contributions will be assigned and the required items will be emailed to each runner at least one week before the race.

Organizers will provide a few aid stations along the route offering water and the contributed items, but runners are encouraged to carry most of what they need for the distance. Registration closes on October 8 at 11:59 PM MT. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
