Race Information
Come run through a magical part of history in the Cuchara Valley. The Spanish Peaks of Southern Colorado have been among the most important landmarks of the southwestern United States, guiding Native American tribes, Spanish and French trappers, gold seekers, hunters, and American settlers. The event will be pairing with both the town of La Veta and Cuchara to help them celebrate their annual October Fest. The event offers a 50K, a heavy half marathon, and 8ish-mile courses that traverse San Isabel National Forest land. You will end on newly reopened and maintained trails that guide you straight into town, ending with a festival at the Cuchara Yacht Club. The heavy half and 8-mile will start on private property, take on the Dike trail, and other local favorites, to end back under the arch at the Yacht Club to join the party. The organizers will partner with the local brewer to provide finish line beers, and with other local businesses for five-star accommodations, live music from local talent, and great food.

😄 Why We Like This Run
✅ Breathtaking national park views
✅ Smooth, gentle route
✅ An unforgettable atmosphere
Lace up for 13.1 miles through the heart of Utah's red rock country. Starting on Kolob Terrace Road in Virgin, Utah, this gently rolling, point-to-point course follows the Virgin River, just two major turns stand between you and the finish, as towering sandstone walls and endless desert views build with every mile.
It's bold. It's beautiful. It's unforgettable. And it ends right where the adventure should: at Cable Mountain Lodge in Springdale, staring at the South Entrance of Zion National Park. Beat the 10/31 price increase!
