Punisher Night Trail
Punisher Night Trail is scheduled for November 14, 2026 at Usery Mountain Regional Park in Mesa, Arizona. The event offers multiple looped trail distances that start and finish at the Pass Mountain Trailhead Staging area.
Distances:
- 30K
- 20K
- 10K
- 5K
Each distance uses one or more loops of the same trail network, which includes the Noso, Blevins, Moon Rock, Levee, Spillway, Cat Peaks and Cat Peaks Pass trails. The course is described as a mix of smooth runnable singletrack with a few rollers and rocky sections. The 30K runs three loops, the 20K two loops, the 10K one loop, and the 5K follows a shorter loop of Noso, Levee, Spillway and Cat Peaks.
Aid and support include a fully stocked main aid station at the start/finish and a remote Levee Aid station that runners pass each loop. Supplies listed for aid stations include water, ice, electrolyte drinks (Gnarly Hydrate), salty and sweet snacks, fruit, pb&j, bean rollups and hot food such as quesadillas and grilled cheese. Crew access is allowed at the start/finish only, pacers are not permitted for any distance, and a designated drop bag area is available at the start/finish.
Additional details: chip timing with live splits, finish line photo, a finisher award by Aravaipa Artworx, a cupless policy with reusable cups available for purchase, a park entry fee per vehicle, and camping options at the park. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
