Two Coves Half Marathon
Incl. $4.30 Fee & Official Event Shirt
Sat 17th October 2026 (6:30AM MST)
$59.30
OPENS 08 MAYWhat's better than running to one stunning cove with blue green water? Running to two of course. The Two Coves Half will take runners around the perimeter of the infamous Lizard Peak mountain range and out to Balanced Rock cove before working their way back up into the heart of SARA Park where we will take them out to Pilot Rock. At Pilot Rock they will come face to face with a towering red rock with a stunning white lighthouse perched on top on the shores of Lake Havasu. The Two Coves Half is predominantly single-track with a mix of technical sections as well as some smooth, flat and fast sections. You'll experience it all with this event. -
Around the Mountain 10k
Incl. $3.40 Fee & Official Event Shirt
Sat 17th October 2026 (6:45AM MST)
$43.40
OPENS 08 MAYThis race will follow the same path to the summit as the 10k. The 5k Scramble is expected to be a fun, challenging yet still fairly fast event. This course is a mix of single track, loose gravel and sandy washes. The majority of the elevation gain is found in the first mile with a short, but vertical rock wall scramble at .72 miles that will test participants agility, nerves and teamwork with Lizard Peak towering overhead. (Event Crew member at this location to assist as needed) Once at the infamous summit, runners may take a second to snap a pic and get a peek of the giant lizard rock formation 500 feet below or take in the 360^0 panoramic views of the city and blue waters of Lake Havasu before heading down. After the elevation gain runners will zig zag down the back side of Lizard Peak, shoot down a short valley before eventually making their way back onto some runnable single track where they round the mountain and bring it home. Terrain on the backside of Lizard Peak will zig zag down rocky switchbacks, consisting of loose gravel on descents. Buckle up! You ready to tackle Lizard Peak? Hit that "Sign Up" button. -
Lizard Peak Scramble 5k
Incl. $3.40 Fee & Official Event Shirt
Sat 17th October 2026 (6:55AM MST)
$43.40
OPENS 08 MAYThis is the one! Ideal for runners and hikers alike. If you're new to trail running this will give you a great taste of life on the dirt. Likewise, if you're an avid runner, we're confident you're going love this loop. Not interested in tackling the elevation of Lizard Peak? No worries! The Heart Attack Hill 5k Fun Run/Hike may be just what the Doctor ordered. Don't let the name scare you. This race will take you across some amazing single-track trails with modest elevation gains and losses. This loop will share the same start/finish as the Lizard Peak Scramble, while taking runners further south on a fun, scenic and even potentially fast 5k loop for those serious runners. Participants looking for a fun, yet competitive event can make this as easy or challenging as they want. Grab your family, friends or coworkers and join us for Havasu's first official Trail Race. No aid stations. There will be a member of our team at the bottom of Heart Attack Hill to guide you in. -
