San Tan Scramble - Queen Creek, AZ

San Tan Scramble is a trail running event at San Tan Mountain Regional Park near Queen Creek, AZ, that took place on January 10, 2026. The courses run through the foothills of the San Tan and Goldmine mountain ranges and follow rolling single-track trails among Saguaro-studded mountains and valleys.

The longer courses include the Goldmine climb, a very steep, rocky section that provides sweeping desert views. The event used park parking and staging areas for race operations.

Logistics noted for the event include online registration that closed the Monday before the race and late registration available at packet pickup locations. For 5K and 9K runners coming from outside the park, a shuttle operated from Mountain View Church (4815 W Hunt Hwy, San Tan Valley, AZ 85142) to the park; buses dropped participants at the San Tan Mountain Regional Park parking lot and were staged there during the event. After the event, shuttles returned runners to Mountain View Church throughout the morning. Shuttle participants received free park entry.

As part of waste-reduction efforts, the event expanded cupless options and provided reusable UltrAspire cups at registration and on race day; participants could also bring their own cups. Additional race policies and withdrawal information were available via the event FAQ.
