About the race
The Collegiate Peaks Trail Run takes place in Buena Vista, Colorado on May 1, 2027 and marks the event's 37th anniversary.
Distances:
- 50 miles
- 25 miles
The course begins and ends near the Arkansas River in Buena Vista. It primarily follows single track and jeep trails and includes part of the old Midland Railroad corridor. Much of the route passes through lands managed by the National Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management.
The 25 mile distance completes the loop once in a clockwise direction. The 50 mile distance runs the loop twice, with the second loop run counterclockwise. The course starts at nearly 8,000 feet above sea level and is an up-and-down route with over 3,500 feet of elevation gain and drop on each loop.
Registration for the event opens on November 1, 2026 at 12:00 AM Mountain Time. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
