The Daydreamer - Patagonia, Arizona
The Daydreamer is a trail running event in Patagonia, Arizona that combines multiple race distances with live music, a community dinner, and weekend activities. Races start and finish in town and send runners onto local singletrack, fire roads, and sections of the Arizona Trail.
- 50K (34.8 miles | 3,307 ft gain)
- 30K (19.7 miles | 3,307 ft gain)
- Half Marathon
- 10K (6.1 miles | 145 ft gain)
The 50K is a point-to-point course with early backcountry miles and a 4 hour 15 minute cutoff to reach Aid Station 2 at mile 14; runners who miss that cutoff are rerouted to the 30K course. Both the 50K and 30K include long aid gaps requiring self-reliance and a hydration system. The 10K is a shorter, faster trail option with gentler climbing.
Aid stations provide water, Skratch electrolytes, salty snacks, cookies, chips, and Skratch chews; the 50K has five aid stations (two full, three partial), the 30K has three, and the 10K has one full station. Medical support is available on-site, and post-race services include massage stations and food trucks. Registration includes a Friday night community dinner and a handmade Daydreamer mug.
The event promotes low waste and asks runners to use reusable plates and utensils; wash stations are provided. Spectators and support crews are not permitted on course. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
