The Gauntlet 8k Trail Race

Saturday, 4/9/22

** EVENT CANCELLED **

We apologize, but due to permitting issues with the new course we’ve had to cancel this event for 2022. Please look for the event’s return during the first week of April in 2023.

This is a challenging 8k Cross Country race/run/walk of “The NEW Gauntlet” course on trails just north of Cortaro Road between The Loop Path and the Santa Cruz River. It has moved to a morning race so we can all beat the heat! Expect to put your toughness to to the test on these fun but at points technical trails! Both women’s & men will be at 7:30am!

Awards are in 10 year age groups for men and women. Trophies will be awarded along with gift certificates to The Running Shop.

Bring the whole family and let the kids participate in a FitKidz Mile on the track after the 8k for all kids 12 years and under. The FitKidz Mile will start at the Wheeler-Taft Library after the conclusion of the trail race.
