Park Entry Passes All participants will be required to purchase a $7.00 parking pass at sign-up or at packet pick-up at Fleet Feet. $7 is for a car with one person and $13 for a car with 2+ people. If you wait to purchase your pass on Saturday at the park, the cost is $10 for a car with one person and $20 for a car with 2+ people. Those fees were put in place by Arizona State Parks on 2/25/25.
Everyone Runs is subsidizing the increased fees when your purchase through us during your online registration process. If you already have a state park pass, there is no need to buy one from us. To move traffic more quickly through the park entry, we ask that you buy the one-day pass from us. Parking will be available in the main lot and on the road shoulders.
