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, catering to a range of runners. 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, known for its steep, rocky terrain and expansive desert views. The event emphasizes environmental responsibility with cupless aid stations and provides well-stocked aid stations every few miles. Shuttle service is available for shorter distance runners due to parking constraints.
The race is part of the Desert Runner Trail Series, offering points toward various series divisions. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
