New Marathon: The marathon will follow the half marathon course out to Tuzigoot Road and up Sycamore Canyon Road. Instead
of looping back toward the monument
the route continues down Sycamore Canyon Road for a 6.6 mile out and back then jumps back on the half marathon route. This route
will utilize dirt roads, paved roads and trails for a great variety on the scenic course.
Half-Marathon: Run or walk through
historic Old Town then along gentle hills to Sycamore Canyon Road up to Tuzigoot National
Monument, where the Sinagua Indians
once lived. Continue on a short series of trails with views of the beautiful Verde River into
Dead Horse Ranch State Park.
10K: This trail winds through beautiful Dead Horse Ranch State Park nestled between Sycamore Canyon and Mingus Mountain.
2-Mile: Run or walk from the Riverfront ramada area to Dead Horse Ranch State Parks main gate and back. This route is fairly
flat but the scenery is breathtaking.
