Cave Creek Thriller
Cave Creek, AZ • October 11, 2025
Celebrating 15 years, the Cave Creek Thriller plays host to 4 different distances with the 50K and 24K options exploring the Maricopa Trail in point-to-point races before finishing inside Cave Creek Regional Park. The 11K and 5K distances stay entirely within Cave Creek Regional Park on hilly and pristine mountain trails. Portions of the trail are steep, rocky, and entirely exposed to the sun with great views of the expansive Sonoran Desert. The 50K & 24K registration includes your shuttle bus ticket to the start line.
