Aravaipa is proud to present the Arizona Trail Race, Southern Arizona’s premier trail running event. This unique race features the beautiful landscape of the Arizona Trail within Colossal Cave Mountain Park and great amenities. The race starts and finishes at La Posta Quemada Ranch (located inside the park) with participants following a gorgeous, yet challenging eight-mile route. We strongly recommend trail-specific shoes as there is quite a bit of elevation gain, and many areas of the trail are technical.
