PHOENIX - Minotaur 50 Mile Ultra 2027

The Phoenix Minotaur 50 Mile Ultra returns as an epic endurance challenge that pushes boundaries and celebrates community. Set to take place over two days from Saturday, June 19th at 8:00 AM through Sunday, June 20th at 2:00 PM, this event offers a unique opportunity for both seasoned runners and newcomers alike.
The race unfolds on a meticulously designed single-mile loop within the picturesque trails of a serene wine estate. The course is as flat as possible, allowing participants to focus on pacing themselves over an extended period rather than battling steep inclines or technical terrain. This layout ensures that even first-time ultra-runners can attempt their maiden 50-miler without undue physical strain.
With up to 30 hours to complete the distance, runners have ample time to adapt to night running and experience the changing atmosphere of the event as it evolves from day into evening and back again. The race organizers provide a comprehensive support network, including chip timing that tracks your progress automatically and well-stocked aid stations offering essential hydration and nutrition.
The venue buzzes with energy thanks to multiple concurrent events such as 12/24-hour races, marathons, half-marathons, 75-mile, and even 100-mile options. This variety fosters a vibrant community atmosphere where runners of all levels can share their experiences and cheer each other on.
As the event progresses through its extended timeframe, participants are treated to the unique experience of running alongside others at various stages of different races. The race becomes more than just an individual challenge; it transforms into a communal celebration of endurance and camaraderie.
With places limited due to the intimate setting within the wine estate, early registration is recommended for those eager to partake in this unforgettable ultra-running adventure.
Join us as we embrace the spirit of exploration and perseverance against the backdrop of stunning vineyard trails. The Phoenix Minotaur 50 Mile Ultra invites you to push your limits while surrounded by a supportive community that shares your passion for long-distance running.
