camps and races in sedona & the santa monica mountains

TRAIL RUNNING ESCAPES

HOW TO REGISTER?

Thank you to our amazing Sponsors and 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 25-45 minutes away from each day's race start respectively. We suggest the Best Western

Rather Camp?

Here is where we suggest:

Dead Horse Ranch

(tent, RV or cabins)

or

Rancho Sedona RV Park

(no tent camping)

Traveling in your Adventure van or RV?

Sedona offers several locations for free dispersed camping. 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 Springtime is high season here!

Interested in volunteering? We'd love to hear from you :)

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.
