San Tan Scramble Trail Runs
San Tan Scramble is a trail running event on January 9, 2027 at San Tan Mountain Regional Park in Queen Creek, AZ. The event offers multiple race distances on rolling single-track trails through the foothills of the San Tan and Goldmine mountain ranges. The courses pass through Saguaro cactus–studded mountains and valleys and include steep, rocky sections on the Goldmine Trail and sandy-wash sections on the San Tan Trail.
Distances offered:
- 50 km
- 26 km
- 17 km
- 9 km
- 5 km
Aid stations are placed roughly every 2.2 to 5.1 miles and provide water, electrolyte drink, sweet and salty snacks, and fruit. This is a cupless event; participants must bring a reusable cup or purchase one on site. Chip timing is used and finishers receive a finisher award; awards are given to the top three men and women at each distance.
Logistics for 2027 note a $10 park entry fee per vehicle and a $5 pedestrian fee for walkers. Due to parking limits and road construction, 5 km and 9 km runners must park at Mountain View Church (4815 W Hunt Hwy, San Tan Valley) and use free shuttles into the park; 17 km runners are encouraged to use the shuttle. Crews are allowed only at the start/finish area and pacers are not permitted. Drop bags are allowed at the start/finish for 26 km and 50 km runners.
