Welcome to Shendo Cat Racing.  We are proud adventurers and producers of the XTERRA Arizona Trail Series, the Fat Turkey Trail Run, CHINO GRINDER, and the charity FLAG2GC mountain bike ride.  Our events stretch east, west, north, south, and dead smack in the middle of Phoenix.  We produce challenging trail 5ks, 1/2 marathons, charity events, Arizona’s original gravel grinder, and beyond!  All with plenty of climbing, fun single-track, epic views, and tons of fun.  We have a race for everyone!  Here you’ll find race course previews, other local trails to explore, and other adventures with your same passions

This year, Shendo Cat Racing took the leap of faith and jumped off the log.  We are proud to start bringing you some bike racing events to challenge and excite you, and more importantly, continue to benefit our communities!

The Chino Grinder is Arizona’s longest-running and original Gravel Grinder.  It is an endurance cycling event showcasing multiple distances for all ages and experience levels.

We are also honored to be able to produce the Flagstaff to Grand Canyon (Flag2GC) charity mountain bike ride.  The Flag2GC Bike Ride is an amazing 65 mile off road mountain biking journey through the tall pines and grasslands of Northern Arizona. Riders pedal from Flagstaff to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, all to benefit Marine League Charities of Northern Arizona, Toys for Toys, and Flagstaff Youth Sports!  We hope you enjoy those too!
