Prescott Valley, United States • 1 Nov 2025

Covering approximately 32 miles with 6,000 feet of elevation gain, the course demands significant hiking and endurance. The event is grassroots and minimally supported, with three aid stations and post-race food provided, though participants should bring their own chairs and blankets due to chilly conditions.
