Sedona, Arizona
Thank you to our amazing Partners!!!
Sedona is a "must see" destination place, so hotel prices tend to be higher. An alternative location, Cottonwood, offers lower priced lodging and is about 45 minutes away from race start . We suggest the Best Western or Verde Valley Inn.
Rather Camp?
Here is where we suggest:
Dead Horse Ranch
(tent, RV or cabins)
or
Chavez Crossing Campground
(Group campground)
or
Rancho Sedona RV Park
(no tent camping)
Traveling in your Adventure van
or RV?
Sedona offers several location on BLM land to stay for free. Check out: Loy Butte Road/Forest Road 525 (closest) or North Bill Gray Road. Both accessible off 89A.
AirBnB is also a great option for friends sharing accommodations or a family who may need more space. Book early, because October is high season here!

Sedona is located approximately 2 hours from Phoenix. We suggest flying into Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport. There are many commercial airlines that fly here and many rental car agencies that service the airport. Groome Transportation services Sedona from Sky Harbor Airport if you are looking for a shared ride. Their shuttle runs multiple times daily.

How To Register & How To Get Here?
And More...
Sedona boasts world-famous red rocks, nearly 2 million acres of Coconino National Forest land, as well as refreshing Oak Creek and the Verde River. As part of the Sedona community, we cherish these spaces and want to care for them so that everyone can enjoy them for generations to come. That is why Trail Running Escapes has partnered with the Sedona Chamber of Commerce, Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics, and businesses and organizations across the city to protect this magnificent landscape by inspiring visitors and residents to care for our outdoor spaces. In order to protect these treasures, we ask that you practice Sedona’s Leave No Trace principles and make your promise by taking the Sedona Cares Pledge at SedonaCares.com.
This race is a "point to point" and requires a shuttle from the Finish line area (where you will park) to the Start line area. Shuttle passes are available for an additional fee of $15.00. You may be dropped off at the start, if you do not want to take the shuttle. However, your driver will not be allowed to park here.
