Thrasher Night Trail

The Thrasher Night Trail is a nighttime trail running event held at Cave Creek Regional Park in Cave Creek, Arizona. It offers four distances: 33K, 22K, 11K, and 5K, all run on a scenic 11-kilometer loop featuring the Slate, Quartz, Go John, and Overton Trails. The course includes two climbs per loop and combines fast, smooth single-track sections with challenging mountainous terrain.

Runners pass through the start/finish line after each lap, with aid stations stocked with water, electrolyte drinks, snacks, and hot food. The event is part of the Fall Sunset Series and precedes the Cave Creek Thriller Trail runs, offering a unique "Double Down" medal for participants completing both races.
