Enlightenment Mountain Run at Angel Fire Resort
Enlightenment Mountain Run is a two day trail running event at Angel Fire Resort on August 15, 2026. The weekend uses the Enlightenment Trail to the summit and the Start/Finish is located at the base of the Chile Express lift behind the lift deck.
The route is entirely singletrack and climbs roughly 2,000 feet to the summit, offering multiple panoramic views of the Moreno Valley. The event offers two formats across the weekend:
- 5.2 miles The Ascent up the Enlightenment Trail with a free lift ride back down
- 10.4 miles Mountain Classic up and then back down the same route
The course will be marked with yellow flagging and directional signage. Race headquarters are at Angel Fire Resort with packet pickup on the deck near the lift on event mornings. Parking is available in several large gravel lots with signs for Mountain Sports and limited spaces adjacent to the start.
The resort offers on site activities and dining, and there is lodging with a discount for stays of two nights or more. Camping is available within walking distance for a per night fee. Organizers perform trail maintenance and sweep the course after the event to minimize impact.
Pricing tiers, t shirt deadlines, and the refund policy include a standard and late rate, a race day cash fee, a t shirt deadline of August 1, and a 50% rollover credit for cancellations made 21 days or more before the event. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
