Head to Taos Ski Valley the first weekend of August for this trail running weekend that features a grueling 10K on Saturday with a 2,612-foot elevation gain (climbing from 9,321' to 11,819') and jaw-dropping views of Kachina and Wheeler Peaks, plus a technical high alpine descent. Sunday offers VerticAL's VertK as an additional challenge, and this year marks a special 20th anniversary with a brand-new 20K option for runners seeking maximum altitude and difficulty. Whether you're running solo or with friends and family, this notoriously tough but scenic event draws competitive runners back year after year to test their limits and chase personal records.
