Trail Running for Fun in Arizona
This project will consist of 5 days of trail running, hiking and camping in the Saguaro and Tucson Mountain area of Arizona. Students will have the opportunity to enjoy the trails and camping together in the warm March weather. A different trail will be selected for each day of running and then short hikes taken in the afternoons. All levels of runners welcome. We will be staying on an official campsite that has basic facilities.
