Other trail races within 84 miles
Six loops of rolling Sonoran Desert trails after dark, the Sinister Night Runs 54KM sends runners on repeated laps of San Tan Mountain Regional Park's iconic 9 km circuit. Starting at 6:30 PM when temperatures hover in the 90s°F, runners navigate the San Tan, Hedgehog & Littleleaf Trails beneath the desert sky as the night cools. With a single remote aid station mid-loop, drop bags at the start/finish, and pacers allowed from loop 5 onward, this event rewards heat management, mental fortitude, and smooth nighttime pacing across six laps of fast Sonoran Desert singletrack.
