Jangover Night Runs

Jangover Night Runs is a night trail running event at McDowell Mountain Regional Park in Fountain Hills, Arizona. It is part of the Insomniac Night Trail Run Series and offers multiple distances on desert single track and old jeep trail, using the Pemberton Trail Loop for the longer distances. The Pemberton loop features about 800 feet of elevation gain and loss per 25K loop.

• 75K (about 45.2 miles)
• 50K (about 30.1 miles)
• 25K (about 15.1 miles)
• 15K (about 8.9 miles)
• 7K (about 4.5 miles)

Course terrain includes rolling desert single track with fast smooth sections and more mountainous stretches. Longer distances are formed from repeated clockwise loops of the Pemberton Trail Loop; the 7K and 15K use a hilly Scenic Trail option. Courses are marked with orange ribbons with black polka dots, reflective medallions, laminated signs, and blue and white checkerboard flagging for wrong-way trails.

Aid support includes a fully stocked main aid station at the start/finish and a remote Granite Tank aid station on the long loop, with water, ice, electrolyte drinks, salty and sweet snacks, fruit, peanut butter and jelly, and some hot food. This is a cupless race; runners are expected to use a reusable cup or obtain one on site. Crews have access at the start/finish. Pacers are permitted only for the 75K beginning on the third loop. Drop bags are available at the start/finish area.

Parking for the longer distances is at the Pemberton Trailhead; 25K, 15K, and 7K parking is at the Four Peaks Trailhead staging area with a shuttle running approximately every 20 minutes. The park charges a vehicle entry fee. Medical staff are based at the start/finish headquarters. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
