Black Canyon Ultras

Experience the beauty of winding Sonoran Desert trails in the shadow of Arizona's Bradshaw Mountains. The course is point-to-point with net elevation loss but do not be fooled; this is a tough and taxing course with the majority of elevation gain coming the second half of the course. Challenge yourself in 2023 and join us for the 10th annual Black Canyon 100K! The course runs along the non-motorized Black Canyon National Recreation Trail featuring a mixture of single track trail, jeep roads, and pieces of an old stagecoach route. The Black Canyon Trail is located on Bureau of Land Management land and is overseen by the Black Canyon Trail Coalition. In addition, we offer a point to point 60K starting in Spring Valley and finishing at Black Canyon City. Double your desert adventure by taking the 100 Mile challenge -- 100K on Saturday and 60K on Sunday! Finishers receive a custom finisher and buckle display created and customized by Aravaipa Artworx.
