Capitan Mountain 34 Hour : April 16–17, 2027
The event takes place in Capitan, New Mexico and is organized by Yeti Trail Runners. It is a multi-format endurance running weekend built around looped trail running on mountain terrain.
The main format is a 34 hour endurance run with multiple distance options, plus separate time-limited events:
- 100 miles
- 80 miles
- 25K and other distances that count toward finish
- Hotfoot Teddy 12 hour
- Rabbit 6 hour
The course consists of soft, runnable four mile loops with a central aid station and headquarters. The course design permits crews but is crew-optional. A food truck is included with registration and provides lunch, dinner, and snacks for longer participants. Pacers are permitted during night hours. Camping is available at the start/finish area under BLM rules, and some RV water hookups are provided.
Packet pickup is handled at the Rob Jaggar Campground prior to the event. Race timing uses Zen Arcade Timing with chip timing, real-time tracking, live lap counting, and split displays.
The event references local history related to Smokey Bear and the Hotfoot bear cub found in Lincoln National Forest, linking the location to wildfire preservation history. The weekend offers a range of timed and distance options on a repeated-loop format with centralized support services and on-site camping.
