Race Information
The Afton Trail Run is one of the most challenging and beautiful trail races around. A 50KM and a 25KM option are available, with the 50KM runners doing 2 loops of the 25KM course. The race takes place entirely within the borders of Afton State Park, which lies on a glacial moraine, scribed with deep ravines. Get ready for long climbs, rising from the river bottom, up rocky ravines and down again!
