Enlightenment Mountain Run

The Enlightenment Mountain Run is a challenging 10K trail race held at Angel Fire Resort in New Mexico. The course features a demanding vertical ascent known as the "Chile Express," climbing approximately 2,000 feet straight up the mountain, followed by an exhilarating singletrack descent along the Enlightenment Trail back to the start/finish area. The event offers a festive atmosphere with family-friendly activities at the resort, including golfing, boating, hiking, and zip lining. Participants can enjoy post-race dining with scenic mountain views. The race emphasizes trail stewardship, with part of the entry fee supporting the Enchanted Circle Trails Association, which maintains and promotes local trails.
