Philmont Trail Race
The Philmont Trail Race takes place in Cimarron, New Mexico, on Saturday August 1, 2026. The event supports Philmont Scout Ranch and the Boy Scouts of America; proceeds from the race benefit Philmont Scout Ranch.
The race program includes four distance events:
- 50 Mile
- Marathon
- Heavy Half (18 Miles)
- Tooth Ridge Sprint (8 Miles)
All events are open to participants age 18 and older. Entry fees are listed for each event and early-pricing dates are set in advance; two shorter events currently have full fields with waiting lists.
The race is based at Philmont Scout Ranch, a 140,000 acre high-adventure camp with over 300 miles of trails. Philmont operates multi-day backpacking treks and a variety of youth programs for older adolescents, and the race weekend includes event support such as packet pick up the day before the race, bus transport to start areas, meal service for racers, and a tent checkout on the day after the race.
Information about trail guides and race logistics is provided for each distance so participants can review course specifics and support details. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
