WILD Wahatoya Runs

The WILD Wahatoya Runs, held in La Veta, Colorado, offers a scenic and historic trail running experience in the Cuchara Valley near the Spanish Peaks. Named after the Wahatoya mountains, meaning “Breasts of the Earth,” the event features three distances: a 50K, a challenging half marathon, and an 8-mile race. The 50K course starts in La Veta, traversing rugged county roads and newly maintained trails with stunning views of local geological features, finishing at a festival at the Cuchara Yacht Club. The shorter races begin on private land, incorporating the Dike trail and local favorites, concluding at the same festive venue. The event celebrates local culture with live music, food, and craft beer from a local brewer, coinciding with the area's October Fest. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
