Desert Runner Trail Series - Fall Pass
The Desert Runner Trail Series Fall Pass is a set of trail race events held in and around Cave Creek, Arizona, with races on October 17, November 14, and December 5. The pass covers multiple events across those dates and offers a 20% saving compared with individual race entries.
The series is organized into distance categories that recur across the three race dates:
- Ultra (50Ks)
- Long (24K - 25K)
- Middle (10K - 10 Mile)
- Short (5K - 5 Mile)
The series expands cupless events to reduce race footprint. UltrAspire reusable cups are available at registration and on race day, and participants may bring their own cups.
A separate points competition, the Sonoran Desert Cup, runs across eight sub-ultra races within the Desert Runner Trail Series. Runners earn points by finish place at each event, with the Grand Final at Dam Good Run carrying extra weight. At the end of the sequence, overall winners are named Cactus King and Cactus Queen.
Events take place at multiple locations around the Cave Creek area. Registration for the Fall Pass closes on October 12 at 11:59 PM Mountain Time. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
