Flagstaff Extreme Big Pine Trail Runs
The Flagstaff Extreme Big Pine Trail Runs is a trail running event held on Saturday, June 20, 2026 at Fort Tuthill County Park in Flagstaff, Arizona. The event offers multiple distances on largely looped courses that run through ponderosa pine forest and rise to mesa viewpoints above 7,000 feet.
Key distances:
- 50K (listed as 31.0 miles)
- 27K
- 13K
- 6K
Courses use a mix of narrow single track and wider maintained forest paths. The 50K includes about 2,440 feet of total elevation gain and reaches a maximum elevation near 7,700 feet. Shorter distances share sections of the Soldiers Trail and Highlands Trail Loop, with the 27K composed of two full circuits and the 13K one full circuit. The 6K follows a partial Soldiers Trail loop.
Aid stations are placed throughout the courses and offer water, an electrolyte drink, sweet and salty snacks, and fruit; spacing ranges roughly from every 4.0 to 6.5 miles depending on the distance. Pacers are permitted only on the final loop of the 50K. Crews and drop bags are permitted at the start/finish area. A race day medical team is based at the start/finish and may remove runners for safety reasons. Timing uses chip timing and results are posted by finish time. Awards go to the top three male and female finishers at each distance and all finishers receive a branded campfire mug or a wooden finisher award.
Camping options include a designated tent only group campground near the start/finish with limited permits and separate lodging room blocks available in Flagstaff. Volunteers are used for event support and receive race credits or race merchandise. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
