Copper Corridor Trail Runs
The Copper Corridor Trail Runs take place on February 27, 2027 in Superior, Arizona. The event offers multiple trail distances that start and finish in town or at the Superior Public Pool and use nearby sections of the Arizona Trail and local side trails.
Distances:
- 50K
- 32K
- 17K
- 12K
Courses depart from downtown Superior for the 50K, 32K and 17K, while the 12K starts and finishes at the Superior Public Pool. Routes pass through Arnett Canyon and feature riparian sections with sycamore trees, flowing creeks, Saguaro cactus forests, and rock formations, including a loop around Picketpost Mountain on the 50K. Aid stations are placed at regular intervals varying by distance, generally every 2 to 11 miles, and provide water, ice, an electrolyte drink (Gnarly Fuel 2O), sweet and salty snacks, and fruit. The event is cupless so runners must carry their own container for refills.
Timing uses a chip system attached to the race bib. Drop bags are available at the start/finish area; the 50K has no remote drop bag locations. Crews are allowed at designated points, but crews visiting Picketpost must park away from the trailhead and hike in; receiving aid from a vehicle at the Picketpost trailhead can result in penalty or disqualification. Pacers are not allowed. Packet pickup is available the day before at Hotel Magma and on race day at the start locations. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
