250 miles. Every moment frozen in time

Our incredible photography team of Scott Rokis, Howie Stern, and Anastasia Wilde captured all 125 hours of it. From the first steps out of Black Canyon to the tears in Heritage Square, they captured every climb, every breakdown, every breakthrough, and every finish that made it all worth it.

From the first steps in the Sonoran Desert to the final finishers arriving in Heritage Square, the 2026 Cocodona 250 presented by was a week we’ll never forget.
We witnessed course records and breakthrough performances. We watched runners battle cold, heat, fatigue, injury, and the voices in their heads telling them to stop. We saw tears of joy, moments of doubt, and the kind of resilience that can’t be measured by time alone.
From the front of the pack to the final finisher, every athlete wrote their own story across 250 unforgettable miles of Arizona’s rugged beauty; through desert, canyon, forest, and mountain.
Cocodona has always been about more than a race. It’s about community, grit, and discovering what’s possible when you keep moving forward.
Thank you to every runner, crew member, volunteer, medic, and fan who made this journey so special.
Until next year. ❤️🏜️🌲🏔️
