On Saturday, April 2nd, The Aravaipa Runners hosted their 25th long distance footrace known as the Crown King Scramble. This year’s winner, Chris Vargo, finished the rugged 50K course from Lake Pleasant to Crown King in 3 hours and 47 minutes. An additional 187 other runners completed the grueling course and were greeted with cheers as they crossed the finish line at the Crown King Saloon. Runners were treated to wonderful music and food at the side yard of the Saloon.
Crown King appreciates the Aravaipa Runners and all the participants for their continued support. It is always a pleasure for our town to host the runners. We look forward to many more Crown King Scrambles!!
Congratulations to all the Runners!! A special Congrats go out to Crown King’ers, Jamie Stewart and Trisha Brooks, for finishing their first Crown King Scramble! You are all winners in our book!
