Aravaipa Arizona Events
Aravaipa Running began in the heart of Arizona, inspired by the rugged beauty of the Sonoran Desert. From its roots in Phoenix, we’ve grown to host races across the country—but Arizona remains our home and our passion.
Our Arizona events showcase the state’s breathtaking diversity, from the cacti-lined trails of the desert valleys to the towering pines and crisp mountain air of Flagstaff. Whether you're chasing the sunrise over red rock canyons or weaving through high-altitude forests, Aravaipa’s Arizona races offer unforgettable challenges for every runner.

Jubilee grew up in a small town in north-central Kansas. After road-tripping around the United States she came to Phoenix in 2008. Volunteering for a desert ultra, Javelina Jundred, in 2014 changed everything when she found the vibrant energy and community of trail running. She finds her passion in serving a community that shares her love of the outdoors and a desire to discover wonders both inward and outward. Her favorite trails are any shared with her dog Fox, her sister Jenna, or her closest friends. Fun fact: She's been taking photos since she was 11 and entering county contests in 4H!
Noah grew up in a small town in western Vermont (two room school-house small) and moved to Arizona in the summer of 2003. Having played team sports for years, Noah started running in 2010 looking for something to push the envelope of what we think is possible. “Run 100 miles? Impossible!” Now married with three kids, Noah looks forward to hitting the San Juan mountains each summer as well as Acadia National Park in New England. Fun facts: Noah played the trumpet for about 10 years and he’s seen the band Phish almost 50 times.
