Cocodona

Cocodona 250 - May 2-7, 2027 The original epic of the Cocodona name starts at Deep Canyon Ranch in Black Canyon City and traverses a continuous 250 mile point-to-point route, ending in Flagstaff, Arizona. Arguably the most diverse 200+miler on the map. Be prepared for a life changing epic adventure. Sedona Canyons 125 - May 4-7, 2027 This 125-mile point-to-point adventure runs the back half of the full Cocodona course. You’ll start in Jerome, run through Sedona, and finish in Flagstaff, alongside runners competing in the 250-miler. Get the best sections of the full course with half the pain. Bradshaw Brute 100 - May 2-3, 2027 This 100-mile point-to-point adventure was made for those who want something rugged. No pacers, no crew, brutal terrain, HOT days and COLD nights. The course traverses the Bradshaw Mountains and runs alongside the first 100 miles of the Cocodona250 course. While it does share most aid stations with the 250, the course deviates from the 250 course in places. This should NOT be your first 100-miler. If you want brutal, the Brute is for you. Mingus Traverse - May 3-5, 2027 The Mingus Traverse offers a condensed adventure through the most iconic sections of the Cocodona 250 course. Starting in Prescott and finishing in Sedona, the route weaves through Prescott Valley, Mingus Mountain, Jerome and Clarkdale, showcasing Arizona’s rugged beauty. Flagstaff Crest - May 6-7, 2027 This 40 mile race showcases some of the best single-track in the ultimate Tour-de-Flagstaff. Start at Fort Tuthill, finish in downtown Flagstaff, and hit amazing single-track in between.

Description

Cocodona is a set of five point to point foot races linking together some of the most iconic trails and towns in Arizona. Join us for the full 250-mile monumental undertaking, the amazing 125-mile journey on the back half of the course, the brutal Bradshaw Brute 100-miler, Mingus Traverse 80-miler in the heart of the course (arguably the best), or a 40-mile tour of the trails of Flagstaff. Cocodona is a curated route through central Arizona linking historic towns and paths off the beaten path. The rich history of the towns linked up through little traveled ranges makes this a one-of-a-kind tour of Arizona. From the beauty of the Sonoran desert, through canyons and pine forests this is a magical route. The accomplishment of traveling the Cocodona Trail on foot will be one of the most life changing and epic journeys of an endurance athletes career. We envision this as a once in a lifetime experience and the pinnacle endurance challenge in North America. Cocodona 250 takes runners from Black Canyon City up into the Bradshaw Mountains – an area steeped in gold mining lore – to the historic town of Crown King. The course then traverses more of the Bradshaws, up and over Mount Union, and snakes down into Prescott where it cuts straight through town on Whiskey Row and out into the iconic Granite Dells. From Prescott the course heads up and over Mingus Mountain into the town of Jerome and onward through Sedona, experiencing a mix of stunning red rock formations and high desert vistas. As runners leave Sedona, the course starts to get into the pines of Flagstaff, finishing up and over Mt Elden and into downtown Flagstaff. It is an extraordinary undertaking and gives runners an incredible point-to-point experience through some of the best landscapes that Arizona has to offer.
