The Fort Valley trailhead just north of Flagstaff is the start of a network of trails in Coconino National Forest. Visitors to the trailhead navigate the trails on foot, bike, horseback, and motorcycle. The terrain includes a series of re-entrants in an open pine forest. The terrain is almost all runnable with few clusters of trees and bushes to slow down progress.

Parking at the trailhead itself is limited. However, the trailhead is surrounded by places to park just off the road. Depending on attendance at the event, participants will need to find a suitable parking spot and walk to the start/finish.
