Update 2019/20
This years event has continued to expand since the success of the 6 day with the addition of several new events including a Last Man Standing and the first ATY 10 day race.
Race Name
Across The Years usually abbreviated to ATY.
Hosts
As of 2010 the new hosts of Across The Years are Aravaipa Running
Course
The course at Camelback Ranch is a 1.05 mile loop (exact distance pending certification). It consists of primarily gravel paths (0.90 mile) with short sections of asphalt (0.12 mile) and concrete (0.03 mile). The path averages 10-20 feet wide, with a short section that narrows to about 6 feet.
History
Founded in 1983 by Harold Sieglaf who continues to run in the event, the event began with 6,12,24 hour races with the 6 and 12 hour races susequently dropped. The race has been held at various locations in and around Phoenix and has been hosted by the Arizona Road Racers on a number of occasions. The race has grown in popularity over the last few years to the extent that in 2005 the race was filled to capacity early and in 2006 was filled to capacity without being open to applications from the general community. In 2011 the directorship passed to Jamil and Nick Coury and a new venue was found at Camelback Ranch – Glendale, and a 200 runner per day limit was set which meant that the lottery system could be discarded
