2026 Arizona Trail Race (AZTR)

The Arizona Trail Race is an unofficial challenge that takes place every year on the cross-state Arizona Trail. Two distances are available. The Arizona Trail 300 is a 300-mile event that has been held every year since 2006. The Arizona Trail 800 is the complete traversal (Mexico->Utah) and was offered for the first time in 2010 as the AZTR750. Both routes are run concurrently, and at the same time and place: Border Monument 103 at 6 a.m. MST.

This is not an organized or sanctioned event in any way. It’s simply a group of friends out to ride their bikes on the same route at the same time. We’ll probably compare times afterwards, but more importantly, we’ll compare experiences — the highs and lows the trail and mountains offered us.

Here are the coordinates of the start point at Border Monument 103: 31.3334351, -110.3364293
