Flagstaff, AZ

Flagstaff sits at 2,134m elevation in the ponderosa pine forests of northern Arizona, making it one of America's premier high-altitude running destinations—the thin air and cool temperatures suit distance training, and the Climb To End Cancer of Flagstaff showcases the steep terrain that defines local efforts. Cyclists gravitate toward the gravel around the San Francisco Peaks and surrounding ranch roads; the Bear Howard Gravel Race and Village Gravel draw serious riders for their 160km+ distances through remote forest and high desert. Road runners find flatter loops around town and the university, but the real character here is vertical: trails and gravel climbs that demand fitness at elevation.
