Oak Flats Picnic Trails

Tijeras, United States • 13 Sep 2025

The Oak Flats Picnic Trails event, held in Tijeras, New Mexico within Cibola National Forest, offers a free, self-supported trail running experience suitable for all abilities, including dogs. Participants can choose distances from 5k to 30k by completing laps on two looped courses—a short 3.2-mile loop and a longer 6.2-mile loop—switching running directions each lap. The course is unmarked, so runners are encouraged to use GPS devices or maps provided at the aid station, which also offers water and electrolyte mixes. The event emphasizes respect for the natural environment, with pit toilets available and a cupless hydration policy. It fosters a friendly, inclusive atmosphere for trail running enthusiasts.
