Pecos PR 5k --2 Loops Of 1.55 Miles - Quick Course

Each loop exactly 1.5. Course is about 400m of dirt, 40m of grass, and flat, fast blacktop-type sidewalk, super fast. The course is two 1.55 mile loops, with the normal course direction being counter-clockwise. Start line is on dirt just north of Phoenix Premium Outlets parking lot. Look for white paint atop rocks. Head straight east, taking a left turn and going behind the building. Once you hit the sidewalk, stay left, take a right at the first switchback and a left at the second switchback. At Javelina Junction (the northern-most part of the course, stay on the sidewalk off to the right, then head behind the building. You will cut diagonally down the Deadly Descent at the first manhole cover with 4 poles sticking out of the ground. Then run straight across the concrete and up Hardship Hill, along the downtrodden path in the grass, which reconnects you to the sidewalk loop. Stay on the sidewalk and follow it past the toilets, to the .3 mile stretch of the course referred to as the “Infinity Straight.” Upon completion of your first loop, take a right off the sidewalk into the dirt and run across the start line to begin your second identical loop. Upon completion of the second loop, finish straight onto the dirt, just to the right of the sidewalk you’ve been running along Infinity Straight. Finish line has several rocks lined up in a line, parallel to the start line but slightly north of it, if you’re looking to run the course on your own prior to race day.
