Scenic course through the beautiful Papago Buttes. For the competitive runners, winners of the 26K in each age group will earn an invitation to the prestigious 2025 XTERRA World Championship Trail Run. Event age-group awards for the top 3 finishers in each age group, adding an extra layer of competition and recognition to the event. Perfect for the seasoned trail runner or a beginner looking for a scenic challenge.
The XTERRA Arizona Trail Run Series consists of six races, each with a RED (20-26k), BLUE (8-12k), and GREEN (5-7k) race. The top 15 finishers in each age group are awarded points. If you do not attend an event, you will be allocated “0” points for that race.
Your final score will be a total of all six finishes. You need only participate in one event in the series to be eligible to win. However, your chances of winning improve the more you run. You need to race in as many events as possible within the series to score maximum points. Moreover, the top 3 in each age group at the end of the season will receive a series award and acknowledgement at our series finale at Black Canyon.
Additionally, you can mix and match the distances you run, but FINAL Point Series Standings will be determined separately for the RED, BLUE, and GREEN series. For instance, if you win a race in the BLUE series at San Tan and in the RED series at Estrella, you earn 100 points in the BLUE and 100 points in the RED series.
Series points standings will be posted after the second event, and updated series standings will be updated within three days of each subsequent event.

Shendo Cat Racing needs YOU to make these events happen!
Volunteers guarantee the success of each event. They man the aid stations, cheer on the athletes, direct the misdirected runner, provide medical personnel, and generally make the races safer for everyone. We guarantee a great time and the time spent will be worthwhile. You don’t have to be a runner or athlete to volunteer at our events. If you have simple words of encouragement and are able to help direct runners or hand out water, you are valuable to us! In exchange for your time, you’ll be rewarded with coffee during the wee hours of the morning, goodies and refreshments, and most importantly the feel-good feeling of knowing that you helped to make the event happen and everyone finished because of the help you offered. You’ll also receive points for volunteering. Earn 6 points and you’ve earned a free race! Questions? Contact info@shendocatracing.com.
