Elephant Mountain

Elephant Mountain Trail Runs, held at Cave Creek Regional Park in Cave Creek, Arizona, offers a variety of distances including 50 miles, 50K, 35K, 22K, 12K, and 6K. The courses traverse rugged desert terrain featuring single-track trails, towering Saguaro cacti, rocky outcrops, and scenic views through areas like Spur Cross Conservation Area, Tonto National Forest, and the Maricopa Trail. The 50-mile race extends into remote backcountry with significant elevation gain, while shorter distances remain within the park.

Aid stations are well-stocked, and the event emphasizes environmental responsibility with cupless hydration. It is part of the Desert Runner Trail Series, providing a challenging and scenic experience for trail runners of all levels. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
