Gila 100
The Gila 100 is a trail ultramarathon weekend in Silver City, New Mexico, held October 17–18, 2026. The event is organized by Gila Endurance Runs and offers two distances over primarily backcountry terrain.
The courses run through the Gila National Forest and include desert to ponderosa pine forest transitions, long runnable sections, and remote backcountry stretches. The route reaches toward 9,000 ft and includes ridgeline miles on the Continental Divide Trail. The start is located a few miles east of Silver City near historic Fort Bayard, and the finish takes place in a small town setting.
Participants should expect rugged but runnable terrain, long scenic sections, and large temperature swings between daytime and nighttime conditions. Aid stations are provided with hydration, nutrition, and additional snacks and food at key locations. The organizers describe the race as grassroots and volunteer driven, with local support for aid and race operations.
