Event details
The 36th annual Zane Grey Highline Trail Runs takes place Saturday, April 18, 2026, in Christopher Creek, Arizona. The race starts and finishes at the 70-acre Mountain Meadow Ranch property in Christopher Creek. Distances offered:
- 50-mile
- 50K
Course details
Both courses use maintained sections of the Highline Trail and avoid the burn area at Hell's Gate. The 50-mile course is mostly singletrack (about 86%) and includes more than 6,500 ft of climbing, with multiple stream crossings and vistas across the Mogollon Rim. The 50K course is over 90% singletrack and includes roughly 4,400 ft of climbing, covering much of the same scenery without the final 19 miles of the 50-mile course. The race is hosted at Mountain Meadow Ranch in Christopher Creek. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
