Pilot Rock Half Marathon
Incl. $4.90 Fee
If you're looking for a true desert trail half that takes you from the desert to the lake and back, look no further. The Pilot Rock Half Marathon brings you face to face with the blue green waters of Havasu. But first, you'll have to conquer a mix of flowing single track and a smooth(ish), fast section of an old mining road that will let you stretch your legs out with your friends running next to you. If they can keep up. Modest elevation changes throughout the race will make this a fun and doable trail half for those looking to dip their toes into a longer distance trail event. You'll hit the shoreline of Lake Havasu with the infamous Pilot Rock Lighthouse towering overhead at mile 9.75. A quick aid station or even a dip in the lake may not be out of the question depending on those March temps. We are set for a near sunrise start giving runners the advantage of cooler temps. It's going to be a glorious sunrise run. 4 HOUR TIME LIMIT - Timer cut off time. *ABSOLUTELY NO PETS ALLOWED - Leave poochie at home for this one.

Pilot Rock 13k
Incl. $4.30 Fee
How about a run to the lake and a working lighthouse? We say YES! The Half and 13k travel along an old Mining road that will lead you out to the shores of Lake Havasu. This a fun route that winds its way out to the infamous Pilot Rock Lighthouse on beautiful Lake Havasu. This is the Spring Break 8+ miler you've been looking for. Come run with us Easter weekend. Runners will hit the shoreline at Pilot Rock beach with the Lighthouse towering overhead at mile 4.9. You're just over halfway. What a perfect time for a quick aid station or better yet a dip in the lake may be exactly what you need to push it back to the finish line. Are you ready for a 13k loop through the Western AZ desert that leads you to a lighthouse and gorgeous Lake Havasu beach? FOUR HOUR TIME LIMIT - Timer cut off time. *ABSOLUTELY NO PETS ALLOWED - Leave poochie at home for this one.

Jaegers Run 7k
Incl. $4.30 Fee
Welcome to Jaegers Run 7k. This run is dedicated to the life and memory of Jaeger Hall. In 2026 Jaeger, a striking young man, avid outdoorsman, athlete and wildland firefighter from Pinehurst, ID traveled to Lake Havasu with his mom Loni and ran in our inaugural 7k. Tragically just a month later we were informed by family that Jaeger had lost his life in an unexpected accident at his residence. We didn't know Jaeger personally but we didn't need to. One look at his photo running up Heart Attack Hill told us all we needed to know. Jager loved life, loved the outdoors, loved his family and most importantly lived out his faith. So it is our honor to dedicate the 2027 7k to the life and memory of this young man. We hope you'll join us on this scenic 7k loop across some incredible Havasu trails. Big horn sheep traverse this corridor so be sure to glance up into the hills once ya hit the old mining road. So get signed up and come experience the outdoors with us. Enjoy the journey, look up and as you begin to tackle Heart Attack Hill, smile and take it all in like Jaeger did. RACE NOTE: This event DOES NOT go to Pilot Rock. *ABSOLUTELY NO PETS ALLOWED - Leave poochie at home for this one.
