The main Aravaipa Group Trail run occurs each Wednesday at rotating locations around the valley with a social afterward. For the most up-to-date information on our group runs, make sure to request membership into the Aravaipa Group Trail Run Facebook Page.
All runs are around one hour in length. Depending on the number of group leaders available, we offer varying pace groups. In the most ideal scenarios, we offer a Fun Group, Mid Group, and Fast Group. The Fun Group runs approximately 3.5 miles with frequent stops. Middle goes 4-4.5 miles depending on the trail and the Fast Group covers 5.5-7 miles.
We have pace group leaders who rotate in and out of leading and sweeping their groups - this is a fluid role and can change weekly. Mostly these are people who enjoy having a trail of people following wherever they may go.. 🙂 plus we trust them not to get lost.
Group Run Leaders
These individuals volunteer their time each week to bring you different styles of group runs to improve fitness and build-up the Phoenix running community.
If you have any interest in leading a group run, please take some time to fill out this Group Run Leader application.
We can't wait to see you on the trail with us!

Does anyone do regular runs in North Scottsdale? I miss my regular buddies from Chicago. Training runs are about 7:30 to 8 min.
