Pony Express Trail Run

Woodland Park, United States • 14 Sep 2025

The Pony Express Trail Run is a scenic running event held at Rampart Reservoir, featuring two distance options: 8.5 miles and 16 miles. Set at an elevation of over 9,000 feet, participants can enjoy beautiful trails, creeks, and wildlife amidst Colorado's autumn scenery. The race is intentionally kept small, with a limit of 100 participants to minimize trail impact. Runners are encouraged to bring their own hydration and nutrition, as there are only two water stations along the route. Each finisher receives a unique commemorative award, celebrating the spirit of all participants rather than focusing on competitive rankings.
