Arizona Trail Race 2021 (AZT)

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 April 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 events are run concurrently, starting on the same day, but in different locations and at different times.

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.

The 2021 Arizona Trail Race kicks off tomorrow, October 28th at 8AM local time. Check out our event Tracker page to follow along on the Trackleaders map and watch for more updates like this one. Find it here and look for it linked on our home page under Dispatch throughout the race.
