Cactus to Cloud Sky Race

The Cactus to Cloud Sky Race, held in New Mexico, is a unique point-to-point ultra trail race that takes runners from the desert floor at Oliver Lee State Park in Alamogordo to mountain peaks in Cloudcroft. It offers two distances: a challenging 50K Sky Race and a 30K Cloud Run, both finishing at The Lodge Hotel in Cloudcroft. The course is notable for its dramatic elevation gain and scenic diversity, transitioning through multiple climate zones from cactus-filled deserts to cloud-covered summits. The event features professional chip timing, shuttle services, and special finisher awards, including a $1,000 cash prize for new course records. It celebrates the adventure of running from desert to sky. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
