On Your Left is proud to support the Arizona Trail Run and Hike Series. This unique series will feature three sections of the Arizona National Scenic Trail. The series is designed to to promote hiking and trail running along the Arizona Trail; raise awareness of the Trail; and generate funds to support the Arizona Trail Association's mission to build, maintain, promote, protect and sustain the Arizona National Scenic Trail as a unique encouter with the land. Trail running is among the fastest growing outdoor recreation markets, and the 800+ mile Arizona Trail is a premier destination for runners and hikers around the world, while raising funds to support the management and maintenance of the trail. For more information about the trail, please visit the Arizona Trail Association.
Each event is on the singletrack of the Arizona Trail, small sections of dirt roads, through arroyos, and occasionally cross-country. Routes have been intentionally designed for their scenic nature, not for their speed. Trail-specific running shoes are highly recommended, as these are highly adventurous courses!
To accommodate time restrictions set by permits, anyone HIKING the events is strongly encouraged to choose the shorter distances, when offered.
Due to the nature of a singletrack and our desire to minimally impact the land, each event will be limited to 250 runners/hikers. Race registration opens January 31, 2013 on Active.com. (Click on links below to register on Active.com, or visit the invidual event pages on this website). We recommend you sign up early. Transfer of registration will not be permitted. If you are unable to attend an event, please notify us at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. so we may use your spot to accommodate those on a waiting list.
These events encourage participation from runners and hikers of all abilities. They are not races. All events will be timed, and results available to celebrate and encourage personal achievement. All participants are eligible for giveaways at the finish of each event.
