Granite Mountain Grind

Set in the rugged heart of Prescott, Arizona, the Granite Mountain Ultra takes runners deep into one of the region’s most beloved trail systems. Winding through the iconic Granite Mountains, this race blends challenging elevation, technical terrain, and sweeping high-desert views that make every mile unforgettable. The Granite Mountain area is tough, stunning, and a local favorite for a reason.​

The 50K is designed for runners who crave adventure. Expect rocky climbs, fast descents, and long stretches of pristine singletrack surrounded by towering boulders and juniper-studded landscapes. Whether you're chasing a podium finish or soaking in the scenery, this course delivers a true Arizona trail-running experience.

This is a fully supported and sanctioned race, with aid stations, course markings, and on-course safety teams to keep runners fueled and confident from start to finish. Every participant will receive a finisher medal, and awards will be given to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place finishers in both the male and female categories.

To preserve the quality of the experience and protect the trails, the inaugural 2026 event will be limited to 100 runners for the race. Early registration is strongly encouraged—this one is expected to fill quickly.
