Mingus Madness 50k

The Mingus Madness 50k is a challenging ultramarathon held in Prescott Valley, Arizona, featuring rugged and remote trails around the Woodchute side of Mingus Mountain. Covering approximately 32 miles with 6,000 feet of elevation gain, the course demands significant hiking and endurance. The event is grassroots and minimally supported, with three aid stations and post-race food provided, though participants should bring their own chairs and blankets due to chilly conditions.

A strict cutoff exists at mile 14, where runners must continue or opt for an 18-mile fun run back to the start. The race emphasizes self-reliance and adventure on beautiful mountain terrain. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
