Three laps of iconic desert singletrack after dark
Other trail races within 84 miles
Three laps of San Tan Mountain Regional Park's rolling desert loop, the Sinister Night Runs 27KM is an ideal introduction to night ultrarunning. Runners navigate the San Tan, Hedgehog & Littleleaf Trails three times, passing saguaro cacti silhouetted against the dark Arizona sky. Smooth and runnable with modest elevation, this is a great first night ultra while still delivering the full Sonoran Desert experience.
