Set in Arizona mining country, the courses head from Main Street into Arnett Canyon’s riparian corridors before climbing toward saguaro-studded high desert. The 50K features miles on the Arizona Trail and a loop around Picketpost Mountain, while the shorter distances sample the same rugged scenery on runnable singletrack and jeep road. Expect well-spaced aid, straightforward logistics in town, and big Sonoran Desert views all day.
