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, plus a kids' run. The courses traverse the scenic foothills of the San Tan and Goldmine mountain ranges, featuring rolling single-track trails through desert landscapes dotted with Saguaro cacti.
The 50K and 26K races include the challenging Goldmine climb with steep, rocky terrain and sandy washes. Aid stations are well-stocked and spaced every few miles. The event emphasizes environmental responsibility with cupless aid stations and provides shuttle service for shorter distance runners due to parking constraints.
It is part of the Desert Runner Trail Series. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
