Elden Ridge Run

The Elden Ridge Run is a half marathon trail race held in Flagstaff, Arizona, starting at the Sandy Seep Trailhead. The course features scenic views of meadows and ponderosa pines, with a challenging climb up Elden Lookout trail to the summit of Mt. Elden.

Runners then descend through varied terrain including single track, technical sections, and classic Arizona rock formations, finishing with a gradual downhill back to the start. The race includes one aid station near the summit and enforces a 2-hour cutoff at mile 5. The event emphasizes environmental care, limits participants, and offers a rugged, rewarding mountain running experience in cool October weather.
