More than 100 UTVs showed up to the first Fire in the Sky UTV Fun Run that was held August 7-9, 2020 in Eastern Arizona.
The event’s theme was based on the true events from 1975 when Travis Walton and his crew of five disappeared while completing a thinning project for the Forest Service on the Mogollon Rim. He was later found at a phone booth that still stands there today. He recounted his experience in a book called “Fire in the Sky,” which was then made into a movie by Paramount Pictures.
The Fire in the Sky UTV Fun Run included alien-themed runs, rock-crawls and activities along the Arizona trails. The games, raffles and auctions raised $1800 that benefitid the Phoenix Children’s Hospital.
The 2021 Fire in the Sky UTV Fun Run is scheduled for September 24-26.
