14er Fest 14K

Buena Vista, United States • 28 Sep 2025

14er Fest is a fall trail-running event in Buena Vista, Colorado, featuring two races: an 8.7-mile (14K) course and a 3.1-mile (5K) course. The 14K starts in Buena Vista River Park, crosses the Arkansas River, and climbs the Midland Hill Trail System for over 500 feet of elevation gain, offering panoramic views of Buena Vista, the river, and the Collegiate Peaks. The 5K runs through the River Park along the river with mild elevation gain. Perks include early-registration hats with a 14er Fest patch and top-three awards for each race. The event emphasizes stewardship—pack it out, no litter, no dogs on course. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
