San Tan Scramble

The San Tan Scramble is a trail running event held at San Tan Mountain Regional Park in Queen Creek, Arizona. It offers multiple race distances including 50K, 26K, 17K, 9K, and 5K, featuring rolling single-track trails through the scenic foothills of the San Tan and Goldmine mountain ranges. The course showcases desert landscapes dotted with Saguaro cacti, steep rocky climbs like the Goldmine Trail, and sandy washes.

The event is part of the Desert Runner Trail Series and emphasizes environmental responsibility with a cupless race format. Aid stations are well-stocked, and shuttle service is provided for shorter distance runners due to parking constraints. Participants enjoy chip timing, finisher awards, and a friendly, challenging desert trail atmosphere. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
