14er Fest is a fall trail running event in Buena Vista, Colorado. The event centers on Vendor Village and routes that run through Buena Vista River Park, alongside the Arkansas River, and near the Collegiate Peaks.
The 14K follows most of the 5K course before continuing onto the Midland Hill Trail System. Runners cross the Arkansas River bridge, gain elevation on Midland Hill, and return via the South Midland Trail, across the river, and along South Main back to Vendor Village and the Eddyline Beer Garden. The 14K course features over 500 feet of elevation gain.
The 5K is a 3.1 mile route that starts and finishes in Vendor Village. The course mixes road, dirt, and gravel trails through the River Park and runs along a river trail through South Main, offering sustained views of the Arkansas River and the Collegiate Peaks.
Registration for both races opens on 2026-05-18 and closes on 2026-09-25. Listed registration fees are $50.00 for the 14K and $35.00 for the 5K.
