Capitan Mountain 34 Hour
Capitan Mountain 34 Hour is an endurance event in Capitan, New Mexico taking place April 16–17, 2027. The event is organized by Yeti Trail Runners and features multiple timed races on a looped trail course.
Distances and races include:
- 34 hour event with options for 100 miles and 80 miles, plus other distances from 25K and up
- 12 hour Hotfoot Teddy event
- 6 hour Rabbit event
The course consists of soft, runnable 4-mile loops with a central aid station and headquarters. The race design allows crews but does not require them. A food truck is included with registration and provides lunch, dinner, and midnight snacks for 34 hour participants. Camping is available at the start/finish area under BLM rules, and some RV water hookups are provided.
Packet pickup is scheduled on Thursday at Rob Jaggar Campground between 2:00 PM and 6:00 PM. Pacers are allowed during overnight hours. Race timing is provided by Zen Arcade Timing with chip timing, live lap counting, splits, and real-time tracking features.
The event is held near the site associated with Smokey Bear. The local history notes that a burned bear cub known as Hotfoot was found in 1950 and later became Smokey Bear; Smokey returned to Capitan in 1976. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
