XTERRA Black Canyon Trail Run

The XTERRA Black Canyon Trail Run series finale is not the event to miss. Lots of climbing, river crossings, sandy beaches, and endless single track. The best part? Our after race party is hosted at Rock Springs Café which means… DELICIOUS PIE!! Choose from our point to point 1/2 marathon, out and back 42k, lollipop 10k, or a 6k looping fun run.

This course is awesome! If you’ve never been out to Black Canyon, be prepared for a treat. It can also be unpredictable! We had to divert our 2019 race due to high waters from steady Arizona winter rains. We will provide shuttles to transport runners to the start line for the 1/2 marathon. Runners may use their own transportation to be dropped off at the start line. However, there will be no parking permitted at the Table Mesa Trailhead. There will be coffee, music, and a fire at the half marathon mile start for those of you who take the earlier shuttles.

The wildflowers will be blooming and the bar will be open! Join us for the series awards ceremony, have a drink, hang out in the creek and enjoy the pie!

*PLEASE NOTE: HEADPHONES = DQ. This is a safety issue. While no headphones is a general Shendo Cat Racing policy it is particularly pertinent at Black Canyon. This course consists almost entirely of single track with a ton of exposure. You need to be aware of your surroundings. When you pass someone, they need to be able to hear you coming. If you are found wearing headphones at any time you will be disqualified. NO EXCEPTIONS.

All participants will receive a huge post-race breakfast, a super cool race tee and finisher medal, as well as entry into fun post-race festivities.
