The race

What this one is

Sedona Canyons 125 runs 125 miles from the Gold King Mine Ghost Town above Jerome, Arizona, to Heritage Square in downtown Flagstaff. It drops off the Black Hills into the Verde Valley, wades the Verde River knee-deep in the first ten miles, then turns north on a long run of single-track through Sedona's red rock canyons and around Airport Mesa. From Sedona the course climbs Schnebly Hill onto the Coconino Plateau and crosses ponderosa pine forest and the Flagstaff Urban Trail System to the finish. Aravaipa Running runs it in May over the same week as the Cocodona 250, on the northern half of that course, and gives runners 75 hours.

Aravaipa Running added the Sedona Canyons 125 in 2023, the year the Cocodona 250 course settled into the route it still runs, and built it on the northern half of that route, from Jerome to Flagstaff. Sixty-five runners started the first one and fifty-two finished. In 2026, 372 started and 269 finished.
