The "VUE" - AZ

The "VUE" - AZ is a trail event in Sedona, Arizona, on April 17, 2027, with five distances and a staggered schedule. The 50 miler and the 34 miler start at 6 a.m., the 21 miler and the 12 miler at 7 a.m., and the 4 miler at 8 a.m., so the longest fields are on the ground before the shortest ones arrive.

Off-road distances behave nothing like their road equivalents, and the 50 miler in particular is an all-day effort rather than a long race. Build for it over sixteen to twenty weeks with back-to-back long runs at the weekend, on terrain that resembles what you will face. The 21 miler is a sensible first step for a road half marathoner moving to trails, and the 12 miler works as a first ultra-style outing without the commitment.
