Two distances are available. The Arizona Trail 300 is a 300 mile event that has been held every April since 2006. The Arizona Trail Race 800 is the complete traversal (Mexico->Utah) and was offered for the first time in 2010 as the AZTR750. Both events are run concurrently\, starting on the same day\, same time from border monument 103. \nThis is not an organized or sanctioned event in any way. It’s simply a group of friends out to ride their bikes on the same route at the same time. We’ll probably compare times afterwards\, but more importantly\, we’ll compare experiences — the highs and lows the trail and mountains offered us. \nAll we provide is a route\, a suggested start time(*) and tabulation of results. Period. There is no race organization\, no checkpoints\, no support system\, nothing. You are completely on your own\, just as you would be if you chose to ride the Arizona Trail\, or any other trail\, on any other day. \n(*) Anyone is welcome to ride the route at any time. We provide a suggested start date if you want others to ride with/against. ITTs (individual time trials) are encouraged and will be ranked with that year’s results. \nIf you want to be included in the “results” you need to follow the rules of self-supported travel set on the rules page\, ITT riders included. This means things like support crews and water caches are not allowed. This is done in order to ensure a level playing field. \nMartinez Canyon\nSPOT Tracking\nEach year the race is tracked by trackleaders.com\, providing a live map\, elevation profile and other stats that can be used to follow along. Carrying a SPOT and being tracked by trackleaders is not mandatory but encouraged. \nSupport the Trail\nThere is no entry fee\, and no registration\, but all racers are strongly encouraged to join the Arizona Trail Association. Please help support the organization that has worked so hard to construct\, maintain and promote this amazing trail across the state. \nMembership is only $35. To join\, go here: \nhttp://www.aztrail.org/membership/join.html \nContact\nPlease consider posting your questions to bikepacking.net’s Ultra Forum. There is a yearly forum thread there with common questions asked and answered. There’s a helpful community of AZT riders that can help\, and that way your questions (and answers) can help others with the same questions. Also the AZTR Director will post updates and last minute info there in the weeks leading up to the start. \nThere is a private Facebook Page that has tons of info. Check them out on FB Arizona Trail Race (mtb) \nQuestions?? Start here: AZTR FAQ & ATA’s Mountain Biking resource \nJohn Schilling – azt300.750@gmail.com

SUMMARY:Chino Grinder
DESCRIPTION:The Chino Grinder is Arizona’s oldest and most iconic gravel grinder and has earned a reputation as one of the toughest gravel races in the West. With routes that are 75–95% unpaved\, this is real Arizona gravel riding: long\, remote stretches of dirt road\, big views and enough climbing and distance to make finishing an accomplishment. \nPart of what makes the Chino Grinder special is where it takes you. The course travels through the high-desert country surrounding Chino Valley and includes sections of historic roads that have been traveled for generations. Riders trade the classic Sonoran Desert landscape of Southern Arizona for wide-open grasslands\, juniper country\, distant mountains and big northern Arizona skies. Depending on where you are on the course\, keep an eye out for pronghorn\, mule deer\, coyotes\, jackrabbits and the many hawks and other birds that thrive in this open country. \nMultiple distances make the Chino Grinder much more than a race for hardcore gravel racers. There are options for different ages and abilities\, whether you’re taking on your first big gravel challenge\, attempting a century\, or lining up to see just how fast you can ride it. Whatever distance you choose\, expect a course where self-sufficiency\, endurance and a willingness to embrace a little suffering are all part of the experience. \nThe start and finish at Chino Valley Community Park also makes this more than just a day on the bike. Grassy fields\, shade and showers create a comfortable home base for riders\, families and spectators\, with a pre- and post-race gathering that adds to the community atmosphere. Send your rider off\, enjoy the park while they’re out getting dusty\, and be there to cheer them home. \nThe Chino Grinder combines gravel\, history\, scenery\, challenge and community into one distinctly Arizona cycling experience. There’s a reason it has been around this long and why riders continue coming back to find out just how tough they are.
