Recommended Gear

This is not your ordinary night race. We want to ensure everyone participating is prepared and appropriately dressed for this event.  

• Costume: Be festive, be ridiculous, be outrageous, be in costume.
• A “Glow” Thing: i.e. glow sticks, glow makeup, glow shoes, ‘glow for it!’
• Swag: Check your swag bag for additional night race goodies!
• Headlamp or Flashlight 
• Please note a sense of rhythm is not required but a sense of humor is.

*Okay, we’re not requiring JACK but for the full Jackass experience, just send it!

Parking

McDowell Mountain Regional Park charges a $7 entry fee per motorized vehicle per day. One vehicle entry  is included in each race registration that is  available for pickup at the park entry gate upon arrival. Please arrive early and plan to park along the main park road guided by our parking staff.

Vehicles parking along the main park road will be able to pull safely off the road without parking in undisturbed desert. Do no park “off road” beyond the designated parking space or in washes.

There will be NO vehicle access to Jeadquarters on race day.

Rules

All rules of the Javelina Jundred and McDowell Mountain Regional Park apply to the Jackass Night Trails. Please respect the trails and the beauty of the desert by disposing of any trash at one of our aid stations.  Any runner found to be littering on the trail will be immediately disqualified from the race. 

Remember…

Please party responsibly. Jackass Junction is still 10 miles away from the finish. Make sure you are able to make the trek back to Javelina Jeadquarters after your Jackass experience. 

Please remember “don’t be a Jackass.” We have the right to dismiss anyone who interferes or disrespects race staff, volunteers, or runners.
