About this event

Experience the magic of night trail riding in the Sonoran Desert at the Adrenaline Night Rides, held on a rolling 9.5 mile loop at McDowell Mountain Regional Park. It is a perfect beginner night race with distances for everyone: ride past towering saguaros under the stars. It is the second race of the Insomniac Night Trail Ride Series.

All categories race the same loop of the Escondido, Pemberton and Shallmo Trails, a mix of wide rolling desert terrain, narrower rocky singletrack and a short sandy wash. The start/finish is in the Four Peaks Trailhead parking area, your first right after the park gate.

Carpe Noctem: seize the night.
