There is a running race and a rucking race. You can only participate in one.

At 0800 hours on Saturday, we will start a race and will use the local trails to complete the daytime loop that is 4.1667 miles (Runners) and 2.3 miles (Ruckers).

Each Runner and Rucker has exactly one-hour to complete the loop. We will start another race at 0900 hours, where Runners and Ruckers race around the same 4.1667 or 2.3 mile trail loop. The same will be done at 1000, 1100, 1200 and so on, every hour on the hour.

At 2000 hours, the races will be moved to an out-and-back course on the road. This will continue in likewise fashion every hour. At 0800 hours the next morning, the races will continue on the trail loop.

Runners and Ruckers must be standing in the start line corral when the next race starts. If you are out of the corral, you can not continue. Runners and Ruckers will also not continue if they self-eliminate. No late starts are allowed once the bell is rung.

The Saguaro Showdown will continue until only one runner remains. At that point, the last Runner and Rucker must complete a loop on their own. If they can complete the loop then that person is the winner for either the Run or Ruck race. All other runners are considered Did Not Finish (DNF).
