Arizona Trail Centennial Adventure Signature Ride, Run and Hike Kick-Off Event
- Saturday, September 24, 9:30 AM at Mormon Lake Lodge.
Join in the ATA’s tribute to Arizona’s Centennial by spending a few hours on the nearby Arizona Trail. Bring your ATCA group or join another to traverse the AZT near Mormon Lake. Please provide your own water and snacks for the trail. Attend the Kick Off so that all ATCA trail users enjoy the trail together in the best possible way!
Your registered ATCA group will be contacted after August 31 to confirm which groups will attend the kick off. And, the ATCA Kick Off Signature Event will be held during the Arizona Trail Association’s Rendezvous weekend – all ATCA groups are welcome to register and attend the Rendezvous (it’s a separate registration and fee to attend the Rendezvous).
