Pass Mountain

Pass Mountain Trail Runs is the second race in Aravaipa Running’s Desert Runner Trail Series, held at Usery Mountain Regional Park in Mesa, Arizona. The event offers five distances: 50 Mile, 50K, 25K, 10K, and 5K. The 50‑mile course winds through the Goldfield Mountains and Hawes Trail via the Maricopa Trail, climbs Pass Mountain, and returns to Usery for about 5,500 feet of total gain.

The 50K and 25K routes traverse scenic desert trails with views of Pass Mountain and the Superstition range, while the shorter distances stay mainly inside the park. Notable features include cupless options, regular aid stations, live tracking, post‑race food and a charity beer garden, plus a Double Down medal for finishing Punisher Night Runs the same day.
