Tortugas Mountain 24 Hour Challenge

The Tortugas Mountain 24 Hour Challenge is a premier trail running event in New Mexico, taking place at Tortugas Mountain. This unique "Fatass" race invites participants to run as many laps as possible around a 4-mile rocky, rolling single track course within a 24-hour timeframe. The event supports the Southern New Mexico Trail Alliance, with donations accepted for trail maintenance and community initiatives. Runners can have crews at the aid station, and the race emphasizes sustainability by being a "cupless" event, encouraging participants to bring their own hydration vessels. Registration is limited to 50 participants. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
