Mayhem Night Trail
Mayhem Night Trail is a set of night trail races held at McDowell Mountain Regional Park in Fort McDowell, Arizona on December 5, 2026. The event offers multiple distances and runs on marked desert trails after dark, with runners using headlamps and moonlight to navigate.
Available distances:
- 25K
- 10 Mile
- 5 Mile
Course marking includes orange plastic ribbons with black polka dots, reflective medallions, laminated signs at junctions, and blue and white checkerboard flagging for wrong way trails. Aid support includes one full remote aid station called Gate Aid and a water-only station on the loop; aid station supplies include water, ice, electrolyte drinks, salty and sweet snacks, fruit, pb&j, bean rollups, and hot food options. Medical staff from MedStar Solutions will be based at the start/finish headquarters and can provide first aid and remove participants from the race if necessary.
Crews are allowed only at the start/finish area. Pacers are not allowed for any distance. A designated area for personal drop bags is available at start/finish. There is a park entry fee per vehicle and campground options nearby, including a group campground located about 2.5 miles from the event. The event also runs alongside the McDowell Mountain Frenzy day races offering a Double Down challenge for completing distances at both events.
