Immerse yourself in the grandeur of Arizona’s diverse landscapes with Cocodona, an unparalleled series of foot races that weave through some of the state's most iconic trails and historic towns. From May 2 to May 7, 2027, runners will embark on a journey across five distinct courses, each offering its own unique challenges and scenic beauty. The flagship event is Cocodona 250, an epic point-to-point adventure spanning over 253 miles from Deep Canyon Ranch in Black Canyon City to Flagstaff. This monumental undertaking takes you through the heart of Arizona’s varied terrain—from the Sonoran desert to pine forests—covering rugged single-track trails and historic towns like Crown King, Prescott, Jerome, Sedona, and more. For those seeking a condensed yet impactful experience, the Sedona Canyons 125 offers an awe-inspiring journey over 126 miles. Starting in Jerome and finishing in Flagstaff, this half-course showcases some of Arizona's most breathtaking scenery as it winds through red rock canyons, high desert vistas, and lush pine forests. If you're looking for a brutal challenge that tests your limits without the support of pacers or crew, the Bradshaw Brute 100 is waiting. This 102-mile course traverses the challenging terrain of the Bradshaw Mountains, offering no respite from its rugged trails and extreme weather conditions—hot days and cold nights included. The Mingus Traverse invites runners to explore a condensed version of Cocodona's highlights over 80 miles. Starting in Prescott and finishing in Sedona, this route weaves through historic towns like Jerome and Clarkdale while showcasing the diverse beauty of Arizona’s landscapes—from pine forests to red rock formations. Finally, for those who prefer a more focused adventure, the Flagstaff Crest offers an invigorating 39-mile tour that showcases some of the best single-track trails around Flagstaff. Starting at Fort Tuthill and ending in downtown Flagstaff, this course provides runners with a challenging yet rewarding experience through Arizona’s rugged terrain. Each race features meticulously planned aid stations offering water, electrolyte drinks, snacks, hot meals (most stations), gluten-free options, and vegan choices to ensure you’re fueled for the journey ahead. Whether you choose to tackle the full 250 miles or opt for one of the shorter routes, Cocodona promises an unforgettable adventure through some of Arizona’s most scenic landscapes. Join us in central Arizona from May 2-7, 2027, and experience firsthand why these events are considered among North America's premier endurance challenges.
