Cocodona 250 2025 Results

Unseasonable weather brought snow, mud, rain and sleet to the desert of Arizona for the 2025 Cocodona 250. What was heralded at one of the most competitive 200+mile races didn’t exactly live up to the hype as some of the favorites DNF’ed fairly early on, or didn’t even make it to the starting line.

None of this though takes away from the feat of all the runners to had the guts to step over that starting line and make their way to Flagstaff some 250+miles away. What a feat.

Below are the top results for the 250 mile race. For all other distances visit the Aravaipa website:

Here’s what I wrote in conclusion of my first ECC Live Coverage:

This race is kind of nuts, isn’t it. It’s been over 24hrs that the first finishers of the Cocodona 250 arrived at Heritage Square in Flagstaff and now, on Thursday night we still have more runners out on the course as finishers who completed this race. Of course, this journey folks put themselves on is tremendous, a huge achievement, and triumph to even attempt something like this. It’s commendable, it’s worthy of praise and lots and lots of Strava Kudos. But, with that said, this event does feel like, as much as is was created as the ultimate challenge for runners (and set as a direct response to Destination Trail’s 200 mile event successes) it was also one of the first big events that was created with the media coverage in mind. A event for runners and for spectators. And as I have loved covering it from afar I must say it’s hard to stick with it. Many of the folks I chat with online have moved on from the actual action on the course to debating logistics, behind the scenes business, or quite frankly already the next event on the calendar. And yes, if you know someone still out there battling you are still investing, I don’t begrudge you this and I cheer you on from afar. But from my end, at my current attention span level, I must admit I need a break.

I’ll add some final notes to this after the conclusion of the event, but for now: sleep, and I didn’t even run that beast.
