The course begins and ends in Arizona neat the AZ/Utah stateline. The route includes several miles in the backcountry of the Valley through some dramatic, rarely seen landscapes. This is a challenging marathon mostly on dirt and jeep roads and is one of the most scenic routes in the country. There is a significant amount of sand on this route. Highlights include the Arches loop and Totem Pole. The Half Marathon is the main Valley loop road – a graded dirt road; the event is capped at 500 runners. The noncompetitive Wildcat 4-Miler will be held on the Wildcat Trail around and between East and West Mitten on a challenging route. There will be signage and pin flags at main junctions and along all courses. There will be spotters at key locations. Source
