12th Annual Wickenburg's Wild West Run

GIDDY-ON-UP TO THE 12TH ANNUAL WICKENBURG'S WILD WEST RUN! CINCH UP YOUR SHOES, SECURE YOUR HAT, AND COME RUN (OR WALK!) THROUGH ARIZONA'S MOST WESTERN TOWN.

FOLLOWING AN OUT-AND-BACK COURSE BEGINNING AT SUNSET PARK (3020 W. WICKENBURG WAY, WICKENBURG, AZ 85390), THE RACE TAKES A GRADUALLY DESCENDING PATH EAST UNTIL REACHING THE 5K TURNAROUND.

HEADING SOUTH AND WITH THE MAJESTIC VULTURE PEAK OFF IN THE DISTANCE, 10K AND HALF-MARATHON RUNNERS FACE A GRADUAL CLIMB IN ELEVATION UNTIL REACHING THEIR RESPECTIVE TURNAROUND POINTS.

10K PARTICIPANTS TURN AROUND JUST BEYOND WICKENBURG'S LOS CABALLEROS GOLF COURSE, WHILE HALF-MARATHON RUNNERS CONTINUE THROUGH WICKENBURG'S SCENIC TERRAIN AND GENTLY ROLLING HILLS FOR ANOTHER 3.45 MILES BEFORE TURNING BACK.

HAVING GRADUALLY ASCENDED ABOVE THE TOWN, THE TURNAROUND GIVES PARTICIPANTS A PICTURESQUE VIEW OF WICKENBURG AND ITS SURROUNDING BEAUTY. YOU WON'T FIND A MORE BEAUTIFUL RUN IN ALL OF ARIZONA. ENJOY YOUR RUN! AND YES! YOU CAN RUN IN YOUR SPURS; JUST DON'T SQUAT!
