camps and races in sedona & the santa monica mountains
Registration is open at Ultrasignup!!!
You have (5) races to choose from on race day. We have designed the races to showcase the best trails on Sedona's
Westside.
Challenge yourself to this one of a kind Red Rock experience. Vortex vibes included!
Sedona is a "must see" destination place, so hotel prices tend to be higher. An alternative location, Cottonwood, offers lower priced lodging and is about 25-45 minutes away from each day's race start respectively. We suggest the Best Western.
Rather Camp?
Here is where we suggest:
Dead Horse Ranch
(tent, RV or cabins)
or
Rancho Sedona RV Park
(no tent camping)
Traveling in your Adventure van or RV?
Sedona offers several locations for free dispersed camping. Check out: Loy Butte Road/Forest Road 525 (closest) or North Bill Gray Road. Both accessible off 89A.
AirBnB is also a great option for friends sharing accommodations or a family who may need more space. Book early, because Springtime is high season here!
Races start at 6 AM
HOW TO REGISTER?
Thank you to our amazing Sponsors and Partners!
