The course will NOT be marked, but participants will have GPX coordinates available to upload on their watch or smart phones. The designated trails in the Phoenix Mountain Preservers are generally well marked at each intersection.

The course will take you throughout the scenic Phoenix Mountain Preserves, starting and finishing at the Piestewa Peak Trailhead. The trails are rocky and often run-on technical terrain. About 6,000+ feet of elevation gain. There is very minimal shade, and most of the time you will be exposed with zero shade, so be prepared if the weather is warm.

Plan on an aid station at 9.9 and 26.2-mile mark at Dreamy Draw Trailhead ramada area for both the out and back section. There will be water fountain and restrooms at these major trailheads: 40th St Trailhead, Dreamy Draw Trailhead, North Mountain Visitor Center and Piestewa Peak Dr. Other than that, you should carry all your calories and water at ALL times with you. Due to the distance between water and aid, it is recommended that you run with a hydration vest with ample amount of hydration. You are allowed crew access at the trailhead listed above and PACERS are allowed starting from the first time through Dreamy Draw.
