Mesquite Canyon

Mesquite Canyon Trail Runs, held in Waddell, Arizona, offer a variety of distances including 50 miles, 50K, 30K, half marathon, 8K, and a Kid's Fun Run. The courses traverse rugged single-track trails featuring challenging climbs, steep descents, large boulders, and desert vegetation, providing a rewarding experience for all levels of trail runners. The 50-mile and 50K routes include a demanding section with downhill rock scrambling over the White Tank rock formations.

This event is part of the Desert Runner Trail Series championship, with awards for top male and female runners in open and master's divisions. The Kid's Fun Run covers about 1.5 miles on a safe, out-and-back course. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
