Zane Grey Highline Trail Runs

50-Mile & 27-Mile Trail Ultra Marathons

Christopher Creek, Arizona

Changes for 2024

The race distance is returning to 50 miles.  Additionally, a marathon distance is being added.  The course will utilize more of the maintained sections of the Highline Trail, and eliminate the burn area of Hell’s Gate.  The race will start and finish at the 70-acre Mountain Meadow Ranch property in Christopher Creek.

A run like no other

The Zane Grey races are TOUGH, truly unforgettable trail running experiences. Our marquee 50 mile race boasts 86% singletrack and more than 6500 ft of climbing, with multiple stream crossings, topped off by stunning sweeping vistas across the Mogollon Rim, the southern edge of the Colorado Plateau.

The marathon distance is over 90% of single track, with 4,500 ft of climbing. All the beauty of the 50 miler, without the last 24 miles .
