Don’t forget to bring your Easter baskets to carry all of your goodies! There will be other activities and games sponsored by local non-profit organizations available during and after the egg hunt. Most activities will cost a small fee to participate. Bring your camera so that you can capture your very own picture with the Easter Bunny! The first egg hunt will begin at 9 a.m. for kids 2 and under. The remaining hunts will begin immediately after the first in order of age. Be sure to come early and allow for plenty of time to park! For a donation of $3 per adult and $1.50 per child, you can enjoy a delicious pancake breakfast sponsored by Mountain Health & Wellness. The breakfast will begin at 7:30 a.m. and continue until the food runs out, so come early and come hungry! The hunt and breakfast will take place on the softball fields at Prospector Park, located at 3015 N. Idaho Rd. The park is about 1/8th of a mile north of Lost Dutchman Blvd. (also known as Brown in Mesa).

Lost Dutchman Marathon
Sun, 19 Feb 2012 00:00:00 +0000

Races: Marathon

The marathon starts a half mile south of the Peralta Trailhead on Peralta Road. The first six miles are on a well-maintained, unpaved road through beautiful desert vistas. The seventh mile of Peralta Road is a newly paved four-lane boulevard. The course transitions to US 60 for 1.5 miles and then turns north on Kings Ranch Road for a tour of the beautiful and historic Kings Ranch and Gold Canyon area. There are rolling hills in this area, but the focus is on the majestic view of the famous Superstition Mountains immediately to the north that rise straight up from an elevation of 2000' to 5000'. The course returns to US 60 at approximately the 15 mile mark and follows US 60 for another 1.5 miles to Mountain View Road. The course follows Mountain View Road, with a couple of diversions, to Lost Dutchman Boulevard. Immediately upon turning onto Lost Dutchman Boulevard, runners will notice a hill with a wall at the top. The hill is a tenth of a mile from bottom to top with a 50 foot elevation gain and is reverently called The Dutchman's Revenge (pictured, right). From the top of the hill you will be able to see the finish line a little over three miles in the distance at Prospector Park on North Idaho Road.
