Pilot Hill 25k

Pilot Hill 25K - Laramie, WY

The Pilot Hill Trail Run is a locally organized trail event in Laramie, Wyoming. It is the oldest continuously run footrace in the state and traces its origins to the 1970s. The event emphasizes a low-cost, community-oriented format and donates proceeds to Pilot Hill Inc.

Distances offered:

• 25K - out-and-back on rugged two-track and single-track
• 10K - new option with crushed gravel and single-track sections

The 25K course crosses sandy flats, low-grade hills, and weathered limestone, climbing to the Pilot Hill summit at about 8600 ft with views of the Laramie Valley, the Snowy Range, and ranges to the south. The course is marked with neon pin flags and directional signage, but runners are expected to review maps beforehand.

Aid stations: the 25K has two aid stations (one visited twice): mile 3.7 water and Skratch only; summit aid with water, Skratch, and snacks; the water-only station is passed again near mile 12.6. The 10K has one aid station near the 5K mark. This is a cupless race; participants must bring a bottle, cup, or water bladder.

Cut-off limits are expressed as course durations: 25K has a 4 hour 30 minute cut-off and 10K has a 3 hour 30 minute cut-off. Registration opens February 1, there is no race-day registration, and partner clubs receive a $5 discount. Awards include cash prizes for first-to-summit and first overall in the 25K, age-group awards, 10K awards, and a prize for the final finisher. Post-race food and refreshments are provided.
