Gila 100 : Silver City, New Mexico
The Gila 100 is a grassroots trail ultra staged near Silver City, New Mexico, on October 17–18, 2026. The event includes both a 100 mile and a 50 mile race and is organized by Gila Endurance Runs. This edition is the third annual running of the Gila 100 / 50.
The course is routed through Gila National Forest and includes sections of the Continental Divide Trail that approach 9,000 feet in elevation. Terrain varies from high desert hills into ponderosa pine country, offering long scenic stretches and ridgeline running. Several sections are remote and present true backcountry running conditions.
Participants should expect rugged-but-runnable trails and wide temperature swings with warmer days and cooler nights. Aid stations are described as well stocked, providing hydration, nutrition, and additional snacks or food at key locations. The race has a historic start area a few miles east of Silver City near Fort Bayard and emphasizes a small, community-oriented atmosphere supported by local volunteers.
