2026 race details
The Pemberton Trail 50k/25k races take place completely on trails in the beautiful McDowell Mountain Regional Park near Fountain Hills, Arizona. You'll find amazing scenery, gently rolling hills, great volunteers, and awesome awards for overall, masters, and super masters champions. Come join us for a great day in the desert!
In 2020, Jim Walmsley smashed the previous men's 50k record of 3:11:55, set by Paul DeWitt back in 2007. Jim cut nearly 23 minutes off that time in 2020, finishing in 2:49:03. This might be the fastest course in the country, so don't miss your chance to set a PR!
Both races start at 8:00, with an 8-hour time limit for the 50k. An early start is available for 50k runners only. See the BQuickRunning.com for more race details.
EARLY BIRD PRICING ends November 30, 2025! Runners who register no later than December 10 are guaranteed a Pemberton Trail race shirt.
