Description

Experience the beauty of winding Sonoran Desert trails in the shadow of the Bradshaw Mountains. The course is point-to-point with net elevation loss, but do not be fooled: this is a tough and taxing course with the majority of elevation gain coming the 2nd half. Challenge yourself this February 13th and join for the 3rd annual Black Canyon 100K. The course runs along the non-motorized Black Canyon Trail (a National Recreation Trail) featuring a mixture of single track trail, jeep roads, and pieces of an old stagecoach route. The Black Canyon Trail is located on Bureau of Land Management land and is overseen by the Black Canyon Trail Coalition. New this year is a point to point 60K starting at Mayer High School and finishing at Black Canyon City.

The 2016 Black Canyon 100K will be a qualifying race for the 2017 Western States Endurance Run. Runners must complete the course within 17 hours to gain a ticket into the lottery.
