SUMMARY:Quad Rock 50 & 25 Mile
DESCRIPTION:Course Highlights\nThe Quad Rock 50 and 25 mile trail races take place entirely on the premium singletrack trails of Lory State Park and Horsetooth Mountain Park\, just west of Fort Collins in the northeastern Colorado Rockies. The 25-mile course features three major climbs and descents totaling over 5\,500 feet of vertical gain on 85% singletrack and 15% dirt road\, running clockwise from Soldier Canyon. The 50-mile course runs the 25-mile loop twice in opposite directions\, accumulating over 11\,000 feet of gain. Elevation ranges from 5\,444 to 7\,087 feet — modest by Colorado standards\, but the relentless terrain makes every foot count. \nRace Details\nThe 2026 Quad Rock takes place Saturday\, May 9. The 50-mile starts at 5:30 AM and the 25-mile starts at 7:00 AM from Lory State Park. Time allowances are 14 hours (50 mile) and 12.5 hours (25 mile). The course is impeccably marked with pink flagging\, flour ground markings\, directional arrows\, and confidence flagging every quarter mile on longer trail stretches. The 50-mile event sold out for 2026 — this race moves fast. The course offers panoramic views east to the Great Plains stretching into Nebraska and west to Longs Peak dominating the horizon 30 miles away. \nWhy Runners Love It\nQuad Rock is put on by Gnar Runners — trail runners organizing events for trail runners — and that ethos shows in every detail. The course is challenging\, scenic\, and genuinely well-organized without the commercial sheen of larger events. The Fort Collins trail running community is passionate and welcoming\, the singletrack is world-class\, and the accessibility of the race from Denver (1.5 hours north) makes it a perennial favorite on the Colorado trail racing calendar. \nRace Weekend Tips\nMay in the Colorado foothills means variable weather — morning temperatures can be in the low 40s°F at the 5:30 AM start and potentially wet if spring storms linger. The course includes some exposed ridge sections where wind can be intense. The 50-mile event consistently sells out — register the moment registration opens in late winter. Carry navigation tools (GPS or a downloaded map) as backup even with excellent course marking\, especially for the nighttime early miles of the 50-mile race. \nRegister\nRegistration opens in late winter/early spring at gnarrunners.com via RunSignup. The 50-mile sells out quickly; the 25-mile typically has more availability but also fills before race day.

SUMMARY:Cocodona 250
DESCRIPTION:The Cocodona 250 is a legendary 250-mile point-to-point trail ultramarathon that traverses Arizona’s diverse landscapes from the Sonoran Desert to the alpine peaks of Flagstaff. \nCourse Highlights\nThe Cocodona 250 is a masterfully curated point-to-point route that showcases the staggering geographical diversity of central and northern Arizona. The journey begins in the Sonoran Desert at Black Canyon City\, where runners navigate winding single-track trails lined with iconic Saguaro cacti and Ocotillos. From the desert floor\, the course ascends into the rugged Bradshaw Mountains\, passing through the historic mining town of Crown King. As runners push northward\, they traverse the Prescott Circle Trail and drop into the lush\, riparian areas near the Verde River. One of the most breathtaking segments takes athletes through the red rocks of Sedona\, featuring technical climbs and descents that offer world-class vistas. The final stages of the race join the Arizona Trail\, climbing through the Ponderosa pine forests of the Mogollon Rim before reaching the high-altitude terrain of Flagstaff. Notable landmarks along the way include the San Francisco Peaks\, Mount Elden\, and the deep\, limestone walls of Walnut Canyon\, providing a visual feast that changes with every hundred miles covered. \nRace Details\nAs one of the premiere 200-plus mile races in the world\, the Cocodona 250 (often measuring around 253 miles) is a true test of logistical and physical fortitude. Organized by Aravaipa Running\, the event features an impressive cumulative elevation gain of over 38\,000 feet and a similar amount of descent. Runners are given a generous but demanding 125-hour time limit to complete the journey\, which finishes in the heart of downtown Flagstaff at Heritage Square. The race is supported by approximately 21 well-stocked aid stations and several water drops\, many of which provide hot meals and a place for runners to access their drop bags or meet their crews. Safety is paramount; all participants are required to carry a SPOT tracker for live monitoring and must have a mandatory 4-liter water capacity to survive the dry\, exposed stretches of the Arizona backcountry. The event typically takes place in early May\, a window that offers a volatile mix of scorching desert heat and the potential for freezing temperatures or even snow at the higher elevations near the finish line. \nWhy Runners Love It\nRunners are drawn to Cocodona not just for the miles\, but for the profound sense of community and the “life-altering” experience promised by the route. Unlike many remote ultras\, Cocodona weaves through several historic Arizona “main street” towns like Jerome and Prescott\, allowing residents and spectators to cheer on the athletes as they pass through local hubs. This connection to the local culture\, combined with the professional live-stream coverage provided by Mountain Outpost\, creates an atmosphere that feels both epic and intimate. The race also celebrates every finisher with equal fervor; the “DFL” (Dead Fucking Last) award is a highly anticipated tradition\, where the final runner to make the cutoff is greeted by a massive “spirit tunnel” and a celebration that rivals the winner’s arrival. For many\, the Cocodona 250 represents the pinnacle of their running career—a journey that forces them to find new depths of resilience while traveling through some of the most beautiful and unforgiving landscapes in the American West. \nReady to take on the ultimate Arizona adventure?

SUMMARY:Possum's Revenge Trail Race
DESCRIPTION:Course Highlights\nPossum’s Revenge takes place on the Possum Kingdom Lake Hike and Bike Trail\, starting and finishing at Bugg Beach on the shores of one of Texas’ most scenic lakes. The main loop is 17.35 miles\, delivering approximately 1\,460 feet of elevation gain per lap. The trail is a masterpiece of variety — rocky scrambles\, sandy stretches\, rooted singletrack\, technical climbs\, and rolling ridges with panoramic views of the lake’s blue-green water and cedar-studded hillsides. All distances start and finish at Bugg Beach. \nRace Details\nThe 2026 race is Saturday\, May 16. Start times: 69 Mile and 52 Mile at 6:00 AM\, 56K at 6:30 AM\, 17 Mile at 7:30 AM\, 8 Mile at 8:00 AM\, and 4 Mile at 8:30 AM. All runners must carry a hydration device — no cups are provided (collapsible cups available for $5 at packet pickup). Cutoff for all distances is 5:00 AM Sunday. The 69-mile course (4 loops) is the ultimate test; the 17-mile single loop is ideal for trail runners seeking a challenging but manageable distance. \nPossum Kingdom Lake\nPossum Kingdom Lake is one of Texas’ best-kept secrets — a pristine reservoir in the Palo Pinto Mountains with crystal-clear water and dramatic limestone cliffs. The lake sits in an area known as the Texas Hill Country’s northern extension\, where the terrain is more rugged and wild than the Brazos River valley surrounding it. Running along its shores at dawn\, with the lake mist rising and the first light hitting the water\, is an experience that has made Possum’s Revenge a deeply beloved event in the Texas trail running community. \nWhy Runners Love It\nPossum’s Revenge occupies the ideal niche of being genuinely challenging without the 100-mile commitment of more extreme ultras. The 17-mile single loop is a perfect first ultra for road runners transitioning to trails\, while the 69-mile option pushes seasoned ultrarunners to their limits. The May date means warm temperatures that add a classic Texas trail racing edge — hydration and heat management are as important as fitness. The Blaze Trails Running crew is known for its excellent aid station support and friendly\, community-focused race atmosphere. \nRegister\nRegister at UltraSignup or visit blazetrails.com for full race details. Exact location: Bug Beach Road\, Graford\, TX 76449 — approximately 90 minutes west of Fort Worth.

SUMMARY:Mission Trails Twilight Runs (50K\, 25K & 5K)
DESCRIPTION:Mission Trails Twilight Runs: San Diego’s Day-to-Night Trail Race Returns\nIt’s been over a decade since a race has been held in Mission Trails Regional Park — and the wait ends on May 23\, 2026. The Mission Trails Twilight Runs is a brand-new inaugural event offering a 50K\, 25K\, and evening 5K through one of San Diego’s most dramatic and rugged trail landscapes. With strictly only 300 spots available\, this is the rare trail race where exclusivity is a feature\, not a bug. \nThe Course\nThe 50K and 25K start at 2:00 PM from the East Fortuna Staging Area (Equestrian Circle\, Santee) and head into the rocky\, steep terrain of Mission Trails Regional Park. Expect genuine trail running: aggressive climbs\, rocky descents\, and sweeping panoramic views of San Diego’s eastern wilderness. The late-afternoon start is intentional — as the miles accumulate\, golden-hour light bathes the landscape before darkness falls and headlamps become essential. The 50K carries a 10-hour course cutoff\, with runners required to begin their second lap by 7:00 PM. The 5K kicks off at 7:00 PM\, letting short-distance runners experience the park at dusk. Headlamps are required for all distances after dark. \nRace Day Experience\nThis is not a race-expo-medal-sponsor tent experience. Mission Trails Twilight Runs is a legitimate trail running event — small\, serious\, and run by people who love the trails. The day-to-night transition creates a race experience unlike anything else on the San Diego trail racing calendar. You’ll start in warm afternoon sun\, watch the sky shift through sunset colors\, and finish under stars in one of the largest urban parks in the country. With only 300 total runners across all distances\, the field is intimate and the community tight. \nWhy Run Mission Trails Twilight Runs?\nThe inaugural nature of this event makes it genuinely historic — you’ll be part of the first race held in Mission Trails in over a decade. The unique twilight-to-night format is a level of novelty that’s hard to find in road racing. For trail runners looking for a San Diego ultra or challenging trail race that goes beyond the usual\, Mission Trails delivers rugged\, technical terrain with outstanding views. The strict 300-runner cap means if you’re interested\, early registration is essential. \nTravel & Logistics\nMission Trails Regional Park’s East Fortuna Staging Area is located in Santee\, in San Diego’s East County\, accessible via SR-52 or Mission Gorge Road. Parking is available at the staging area. For accommodations\, Santee and the Tierrasanta/Mission Valley areas have a range of hotels. The late start time (2:00 PM for the 50K/25K) means you can drive in morning-of from downtown San Diego or any surrounding area without a predawn alarm. Bring layers — evening temperatures in Mission Trails can drop noticeably after sunset. \nHow to Register\nRegistration for the Mission Trails Twilight Runs 50K\, 25K\, and 5K is available through Race Roster. With only 300 spots across all distances\, this event will sell out. Register as soon as possible to claim your spot in this one-of-a-kind inaugural California trail race.
