About
The Black Canyon Ultras take place on wild trails through a large canyon near Mayer, Arizona. Two distances are offered: a 37.4-mile course (60K) and a full 100K (62 miles). Both routes wind through rugged canyon terrain, giving runners a demanding backcountry ultra experience in the Arizona desert. It's a two-distance event that lets runners choose between a substantial ultra effort and the longer 100K test, with the canyon setting providing a dramatic, remote backdrop throughout the race. The rocky, exposed terrain makes pacing and footing just as important as fitness over the full distance.
