About the Event

Experience the swift, rolling beauty of the Sonoran Desert at the Snakebite 10K/20K in McDowell Mountain Regional Park on March 1, 2026. This fast and friendly trail run features a course that is 95% singletrack, offering a perfect blend of gentle climbs, flowing descents, and stunning vistas of the iconic Fountain Hills landscape. As the final race in the prestigious McDowell Mountain Cup winter series, it presents both a standalone challenge and the decisive opportunity to clinch the coveted series title. The atmosphere is welcoming and community-focused, where the shared joy of running is celebrated with great volunteers and post-race food and friendship.

Whether you choose the 10K for a spirited dash or the 20K for a more substantial desert journey, the course is designed for speed and pure running enjoyment, making it ideal for setting a personal best on the trails. It’s more than just a race; it's a seasonal tradition that culminates in a gathering of the local trail running tribe under the Arizona winter sun. Secure your spot early for a guaranteed race shirt and prepare for a brilliantly organized day where every step is a fast, fun escape into pristine desert wilderness.
