Taos Ski Valley Up & Over Trail Run Weekend

🏔️ Taos Ski Valley Up & Over Trail Run Weekend

Spanning the first weekend of August, the Up & Over Weekend challenges runners with a demanding 10K Trail Run course on Saturday. On Sunday, runners can take on the daunting VerticAL’s VertK.

🏃‍♂️ Taos Ski Valley Up & Over 10k Trail Run

Hosted on Saturday, the 19th Annual Up & Over 10K is notoriously challenging with many runners returning year-after-year to beat their PBs. There are many groups that run together: friends, co-workers, and whole families who want to take on the mountain.

• Scenic Views: Expect amazing views of Kachina and Wheeler Peaks.
• Descent: Followed by a technical descent through high alpine terrain.

⛰️ VerticAL's VertK

On Sunday take on the 3rd Annual VerticAL's VertK, a daunting vertical 1K up TAOS’s famed Al’s Run.

• Course Description: In winter, Al’s is an intimidating long, steep black diamond ski run directly under Lift 1, carved with seemingly infinite measure of moguls.
• Elevation Gain: VerticAL's participants will scramble up from the base to the finish at the top of Al’s – a grueling gain of 1,497’.
• Age Requirement: Due to the demanding terrain, this event will be open to participants 16+ years old.
