Camping at Javelina

Join us at Javelina Jeadquarters where we offer several types of camping passes close to the action: RV Camping, Car Camping, Tent City, and Gen Camp. Please be aware that these reservations are distinct from crew space reservations.  Camping passes will be available on a first come first serve basis online during registration.

Tent City Rentals

Located in the heart of Javelina Jeadquarters, Tent City offers a premium, move-in-ready camping experience that puts you right in the middle of the action.

Each rental includes a spacious tent (66" interior height) and a camping permit. Tents comfortably fit two adults and can be customized with optional cots and sleeping bags.

2025 Tent Options:

• Camping Tent – Bring your own gear (air mattress, sleep pad, etc.).

• Add-Ons: Up to two cots and sleeping bags per tent.

Tents are set up for you in advance and assigned first come, first served.
Check-in begins Friday at 10:00 AM—visit the front entrance to receive your camp pass.

Note: Parking is not allowed near tents inside Javelina Jeadquarters. Please plan accordingly.

BYO Tent Camping at Javelina

Javelina is a chance to build your own space and community. Runners can purchase a BYO Tent Camping Permit to set up in the designated tent camping zone at Javelina Jeadquarters—valid for three days and two nights, starting Friday before race day.

Key Guidelines:

• Tent camping only. No camping allowed in crew areas or along course access zones.

• Pack in, pack out. Bring only what you need. Remove packaging at home to reduce waste.

• Stay in your zone. Don’t set up in walkways; keep tent stakes and guylines within your assigned space.

• Be respectful. Keep noise low at night and early mornings.

• No parking in General Camping.

• No generators or open flames.

• Leave No Trace. Take all trash and gear with you when you leave.

Check-in and setup begins Friday at 11:00 AM. Pick up your camp pass at the front entrance upon arrival. Help us preserve this space and keep the experience going strong for years to come.

RV Camping

Designated RV camping at Javelina Jeadquarters offers a convenient way to stay close to the action with added comfort. Placement is based on the pass you purchase and managed by our RV placement team.

Options:

• Long RVs – Vehicles over 24 feet.

• Short RVs – Under 24 feet, including trailers, teardrops, Sprinter vans, etc.

All RV spots are dry camping—no hookups for water, power, or sewer. RV passes do not include tent camping permits.

Check-in begins Thursday, October 23 at 7:00 AM.

Car Camping

Car camping offers a designated space in the Competitive Lot from Friday to Sunday. Allowed setups include Sprinter vans, rooftop tents, camper shells, SUVs with sleeping platforms, and compact vans. All camping must remain inside the vehicle—no tents or external setups are permitted.

Benefits:

• Prime Location – Close to race activities and amenities.

• Community Vibe – Be part of the on-site experience all weekend.

• Simplified Parking – Replaces VIP parking with a more inclusive system.

Check-in begins Friday, October 24 at 7:00 AM.
Vehicles will not be permitted to move in or out during race day. All campers must arrive on Friday.

Note: Car camping passes are for overnight use only. Do not purchase for general parking. All general parking will be located along the park road.

New for 2025

Camping and RV Reservations

Beginning in 2025 all camping and RV reservations will open alongside race registration at the start of the year. These spaces, along with crew canopy spaces, will only be available for purchase during registration. Additionally, we will not be hosting a waitlist for any camping or crew space reservations. This adjustment simplifies the reservation process and ensures a more equitable distribution of available spaces. By consolidating reservations into one step, we’re making it easier for participants to plan their race weekend and secure their accommodations well in advance.

Why This Change?

• Convenience for Participants: A single, consolidated reservation process during registration eliminates the need for additional transactions later in the year.
• Transparency and Equity: Releasing all spaces simultaneously ensures equal access for all runners and their crews.
• Improved Planning: A streamlined process allows us to better allocate and manage these limited resources, ensuring everyone has a fair chance to reserve their preferred accommodations.

Elimination of VIP Parking and Introduction of Car Camping

For 2025, we are eliminating VIP parking as part of our efforts to simplify logistics and provide more options for campers. We are introducing car camping, which offers an exclusive and convenient option for those staying on-site. Car camping will include a camping pass valid from Friday to Sunday, granting car campers a designated area within the comp lot. General parking will be relocated to the park road to accommodate this new setup. Please note that car camping will not allow in/out access on race day (Saturday), so vehicles must remain parked in the designated area from Friday night through Sunday.

Benefits of Car Camping

• Exclusive Access: Car campers will enjoy a dedicated area within the comp lot, close to race activities and amenities.
• Integrated Experience: Staying on-site enhances the race weekend atmosphere and fosters a deeper connection to the Javelina community.
• Simplified Logistics: By replacing VIP parking with car camping, we’re creating a more inclusive and equitable system for all participants while ensuring a smoother parking process.

With the help from Halo, a hotel booking platform for athletes, supporters and fans, we’ve selected a few different hotel options for you and your crew to choose from that are close and convenient for the race.  Booking through us gives you access to discounted rates, swag bags and designated breakfast areas to connect with other Javelina guests. Best of all, a portion of your reservation will be donated to charity! Experiences are better when you #staytogether

Dying to join the party this year? Below are some of the most asked questions about registration and the current waitlist.

What’s my chance of joining the party? Don’t wait! Registration opens January 1 each year. If the race sells out, join the waitlist. Runners have an excellent chance of racing the sooner they register or the sooner they jump on the waitlist.

If I’m on the waitlist, will my card be charged if I’m selected? No. Runners will received an invitation to confirm their entry before any fees are processed.

How long do I have to confirm/accept my entry when selected? Runners have 72 hours to confirm. After three days their spot will be withdrawn and made available to the next runner in line.

How do I check my position on the waitlist? You may view the waitlist or entrants list on the event menu on the race’s ultra signup page. OR…click HERE

What are my chances of getting in if I’m on the waitlist? It’s difficult to predict your chances of securing a spot because the waitlist moves entirely based on participant withdrawals, and each year is unique. The waitlist is managed on a first-come, first-served basis, so you’ll receive an email notification if a spot becomes available for you.

Can I cancel/withdraw from the waitlist without being charged? Yes – but do you really want to miss this party? Runners can withdraw themselves at anytime with no charges incurred. Go to your “registration history” on Ultrasignup to make adjustments to your registration.

Can I defer to next year? Please check out updated withdrawal policy below.

Entrance Policy for Transgender Athletes
We will accept each entrant’s declared gender at face value, and no additional supporting evidence is required.

Participation for Elite Competition
Transgender women may register to compete in an elite women’s division, provided they have undergone continuous, medically supervised hormone treatment for gender transition for at least one year prior to the race.

Transgender men may register to compete in an elite men’s division. Transgender men may not register to compete in any women’s divisions if they have begun hormone treatment for transition that includes testosterone, or any other banned substance as defined by the World Antidoping Agency.

Runners may compete in the category of their sex assigned at birth if they have not undergone hormone treatment.

Transgender entrants, at their option, may provide medical documentation related to their transition to the Race Director prior to the race. All information about the runner’s gender identity and medical information, including any information provided pursuant to this policy, will be kept strictly confidential.

Challenges of Results Involving Transgender Athletes
Aravaipa Running and its organizers will not tolerate hateful or discriminatory behavior by any of our runners, or those associated with the race, regardless of the cause.

Our commitment to inclusivity extends to fostering a culture of respect and understanding among all participants. We expect all parties to behave in a manner that is honest, compassionate, and respectful. Discriminatory behavior or challenges based on gender identity will not be tolerated or entertained by the race organizers.

Entrance Policy for Non-Binary Athletes
Aravaipa is committed to creating an inclusive and welcoming environment for all athletes including those who identify as non-binary. This policy outlines our approach to ensuring non-binary runners feel respected and included in our events.

Definition of Non-Binary
Non-binary individuals may not exclusively identify as either ‘man’ or ‘woman’ and may experience their gender identity in various ways. We recognize and respect the diverse ways individuals understand and express their gender.

Registration for Non-Binary Athletes
Non-binary and gender non-conforming athletes are encouraged to register as their self- identified gender. Ultrasignup now offers a non-binary option for runners upon registration. We pass this option on to our runners when they register. If you have an existing account, you may need to edit your account to indicate your gender as non- binary.

Awards and Podiums
If participation in an event by non-binary athletes warrants a top-three placement the race will include a Non-Binary Podium to award and recognize the athletes alongside the Men and Women’s Podiums.

Policy Review and Feedback
We are committed to ensuring this policy remains up-to-date and equitable. Your feedback is important to us. If you have questions, comments, or suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact the race organization or race director: [email protected]

We’re once again partnering with the Maricopa Trail + Park Foundation, the official sponsor of our on-site charity beer garden located near the start/finish line.

The Maricopa Trail + Park Foundation is a nonprofit organization focused on supporting and maintaining Maricopa County’s extensive trail and park system. Their mission is to ensure long-term access, sustainability, and enjoyment of these outdoor spaces for all.

Last year, Javelina participants helped raise over $3,000 through the charity beer garden. All proceeds directly support trail development, maintenance, and park initiatives across the county.

We encourage all runners, crews, and spectators to visit the beer garden and contribute to the continued growth and care of the trails we run on.

Volunteer at Javelina

Our volunteers create a city in the desert, cheer at aid stations, provide the perfect remedies, and champion runners across the finish line. They bring energy, dedication, and a whole lot of fun to our r ace, embodying the spirit of our community in giving and support.

Whether you’re an expert in setting up tents, a natural valet, a disco queen, a short-order cook, or a jack-of-all-trades, there’s a place for you in making this life-changing desert party unforgettable. Click the button above to explore how you can add your unique touch to the festivities!

Javelina Jundred is an R-rated event (with some exceptions). We love the family-feel but that doesn’t mean it’s totally kid-friendly race day. There will be explicit music played at Jeadquarters and other aid stations, and possibly some risqué costumes (NOTE: frontal nudity/exposure is NOT permitted)*.

The bottom line is this is an adult ultra-marathon party in the desert.

*We have a best ass award… so expect some bare butts.

You’ve been warned.
