Join us for a spectacular day of trail running and support the High Mountain Institute (HMI), a local Leadville non-profit educational institution. The High Mountain Trail Run is a great mid-summer race that can be used to prepare for late-summer ultras or marathons - or just to have a great day of running in the mountains!

The course is a +/- 25-kilometer (15 miles) loop with 790 meters (2,600 ft.) of climbing on each lap. Aid stations will be located at HMI and at May Queen Campground. The first lap of the 50 km is counter-clockwise around Turquoise Lake, past May Queen Campground, up Sugarloaf Mountain, and down to the HMI campus. The second lap is in reverse. There is a four-hour cut off for the first lap.

This will be an informal race with prizes for the first three Open and Masters male and female finishers in each distance, a few raffle prizes and a t-shirt. HMI operates the High Mountain Trail Run by permit on the San Isabel National Forest.
