Cave Creek Trail Run
is canceled for 2016.

Help preserve 4,000 acres of open space. Run this amazing trail run on challenging, primitive trails through beautiful Sonoran Desert.

6.5K Trail Run/Walk starts at 7:15am

Course Description
Just North of Cave Creek is some of the most pristine Sonoran Desert you will find in all of Arizona, which is why we are trying to save it. With its isolation there is a tremendous amount of flora and fauna, a perfect setting for our trail run. This year, for you returning racers, you will be running mainly within Spur Cross Conservation Area, land in which citizens of Cave Creek bought from a developer in order to keep it how you see today.  The route will take you almost to the boarder with the Tonto National Forest, then through some of the largest saguaros in the state, you will then be encompassed within an amazing mesquite forest, go past some Acient Pueblean artifacts, go by an pond and finally down through Cave Creek (yes, the actual creek). You will go up and over hills and down them too, over loose rock and stiff ones and yes, cactus as well, so don't forget your comb and tweezers. Keep an eye out for an egg. There will be one egg out on the each course. Whoever finds it and brings it back will receive a special prize. All of your sweating, heavy breathing and rewarding smiles, is in the name of saving Open Space. With your participation you will help ensure it remains as Open Space forever, and we sincerely thank you for caring.

PLEASE NOTE: The ONLY water stop is approximately 1.6 miles into the course. Please plan accordingly. It could be quite warm so we are advising that you carry you own water so you can stay properly hydrated.

Thank you for your support. We look forward to seeing you out on the trail.
