Flagstaff Crest 39 : event overview
The Flagstaff Crest is a 39-mile point-to-point trail race in Flagstaff, Arizona, held in May as part of Cocodona week. The route links Fort Tuthill County Park (start) and Heritage Square in downtown Flagstaff (finish). The course uses sections of the Flagstaff Urban Trail System (FUTS), the Arizona Trail, and the Flagstaff Loop Trail and traverses single-track, double-track, and paved surfaces. Surface distribution is listed as about 69% single-track, 18% double-track, and 13% pavement. Total estimated elevation gain is roughly 3,000 to 4,000 feet, depending on the year.
Course features, services, and rules
The race route passes high-country terrain, pine forest and high desert sections. The event provides four aid stations on the Flagstaff Crest course; aid station supplies include water, electrolyte drink, sweet and salty snacks, fruit, and most will offer a hot meal with vegan options. Crews and pacers are not allowed on the Flagstaff Crest course. Runners are required to carry a GPS-enabled device with the course file downloaded. The event is cupless at aid stations, so runners must carry their own containers for cold drinks. Entry fees are non-refundable; the organizer offers UltraSignup credit options under a published deferral and withdrawal policy. Registration for the listed year closed on April 27.
