Cave Creek Thriller

The Cave Creek Thriller Trail Runs, celebrating its 15th anniversary, offers a variety of distances including 50K, 24K, 11K, and 5K, making it the first event in the Fall Desert Runner Trail Series. The 50K and 24K races feature a scenic point-to-point course along the Maricopa Trail, connecting two regional parks, while the 11K and 5K courses remain within the picturesque Cave Creek Regional Park. Participants can expect challenging terrain with steep and rocky trails, stunning views of the Sonoran Desert, and well-stocked aid stations.

The event promotes sustainability by being cupless, encouraging runners to bring their own reusable cups. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
