The Daydreamer : Patagonia, Arizona trail running event

The Daydreamer is a weekend trail running event held in Patagonia, Arizona, on sections of the Arizona Trail and through the Madrean Sky Islands. It offers three measured course options:

  • 10K
  • 30K
  • 50K

The event is presented as a community-oriented trail race for a range of trail runners. Courses run through portions of the Arizona Trail that organizers describe as not widely discovered, and routes vary in distance to suit different preferences, including an ultramarathon-length option.

Weekend activities include live music and food trucks on Friday and Saturday, a family dinner on Friday that is included with entry, and a Saturday evening reggae performance by a band called A1. The weekend supports a fundraiser for a local recycling center and uses a Minimal Waste theme; attendees are asked to bring travel plates and silverware as part of that effort.

Race services listed by organizers include fully stocked aid stations, medical and safety support, awards for top finishers, a handmade Daydreamer mug for participants, and entertainment throughout the weekend. There is also a free kids run associated with the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
