Trails & Rails - Cloudcroft, NM

Trails & Rails takes place on June 13, 2026 in Cloudcroft, New Mexico, based at the Trestle Recreation Area at the junction of Hwy 82 and 130. The event offers short trail distances and is the first race in the Sacramento Mountains Ultra Series.

Distances

• 8 Mile
• 3 Mile
• 1 Mile Kid's Dash (ages 10 and under)

The 8 mile course includes approximately 1,350 feet of elevation gain and loss and follows a mix of wide historic railroad grade, segments of an old highway, and rolling singletrack. The 3 mile course has about 576 feet of elevation change. Both routes provide overlooks of the Tularosa Basin and run along trails with railroad history.

Support and logistics include two water stations on the 8 mile course, a cup-less policy on the 3 mile course so runners must carry their own hydration, pre-race pastries, and post-race snacks. Shirts are custom designed and are guaranteed only with early registration. Registration closes on June 11, 2026 at 11:59 PM Mountain Time and is non-refundable.

The Kid's Dash allows strollers and parents do not need to register to run with their child. Awards are given to the top three in each age group. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
