About this event
Experience the magic of night trail riding in the Sonoran Desert at the Sinister Night Rides in San Tan Mountain Regional Park. Ride a rolling 7.3 mile loop under the stars, past towering saguaros. It is perfect for night race beginners, with challenges for every level, and it kicks off the Insomniac Night Trail Ride Series.
Every category rides the same loop of the Littleleaf and San Tan Trails: wide, rolling desert terrain, narrower rocky singletrack and a short sandy wash. Ride as many laps as you can in 6 hours solo or as a duo, or in 3 hours, race a single lap, or bring the kids for the juniors loop. The main aid tent sits on course at the start/finish village, so you pass it every lap.
Carpe Noctem: seize the night.
