Arizona Trail Running and Hiking Series

[sirena]

In an effort to encourage trail running and hiking along the AZT, the Arizona Trail Association is partnering with On Your Left! Fitness to offer a series of four participatory events for trail runners and hikers in 2013:

•March 9 - Picketpost Trailhead - Superior, Az
•April 27 - Gabe Zimmerman Trailhead - Vail, Az
•May 18 - Pine Trailhead - Pine, Az
•September 29 - Mormon Lake Village - Mormon Lake, Az

This unique series will feature four of the best segments of the Arizona National Scenic Trail in spectacular natural settings. The series is designed to promote hiking and trail running along the Arizona Trail and generate funds to support the Arizona Trail Association’s mission to build, maintain, promote, protect and sustain the Arizona National Scenic Trail as a unique encounter with the land.
Distances vary with each event, and two options are presented for trail runners and hikers of all abilities. Two events feature scenic loops with a common start/finish line while two events are point-to-point courses. Each event is on the singletrack of the Arizona Trail, small sections of dirt roads, through arroyos, and occasionally cross-country.

These events encourage participation from runners and hikers of all abilities. They are not races. All events will be timed, and results available to celebrate and encourage personal achievement. All participants are eligible for giveaways at the finish of each event.

BYOB - Bring your own bottle. Aid stations along the trail will have water. However, there will be no paper cups. You must provide your own bottle or hydration pack to fill at each aid station.

BYOC- Bring your own chair. Plan to relax at the finish and enjoy great food, wonderful people, raffle prizes, and much more!

I like the BYOC part. I don't run even if I have to pee really, really bad.
