About the race
Sinister Night Runs unfolds at San Tan Mountain Regional Park in Queen Creek, AZ, offering multiple night-distance options: 54K (34.3 miles), 27K (17.12 miles), 18K (11.4 miles), 9K (5.7 miles), and 6K (3.8 miles). Runners tackle a 9 km loop on the San Tan, Hedgehog, and Littleleaf Trails in a counter-clockwise format; the 54K is six loops. The atmosphere blends desert scenery—saguaro silhouettes under a starry sky—with a festive nocturnal vibe.
Highlights include well-stocked aid stations, one remote aid pass per loop, drop bags, pacers for the 54K, chip timing, and live tracking as part of the Insomniac Night Series, and a celebratory finish. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
