Races
Saddles 100
A loop around Prescott. Michael Versteeg's course. Clockwise this year. Trails you already know if you live here.
The mountain
A hundred-mile loop on Prescott trails. Granite Dells granite. Circle Trail miles. Lakes and ponderosa. The fifty skips the Dells section. Official pages do not publish vert or a cutoff. Read the 2026 manual before you guess.
The work
If you live here, you already train this dirt. If you do not, come for the granite and the long rolling. October in Prescott can still cook a south-facing climb. Practice the Dells rock. It is not a desert wash and it is not a Colorado pass.
Race morning
Five a.m. for the hundred. Clockwise in 2026. Local aid. Local hands. The race manual is the source, not a blog.
Watch outs
Do not invent a cutoff. Do not treat granite as packed dirt. Night in the Dells is a place to watch your ankles. Bring the manual in the drop bag.
