Crazy Legs 10K+ Trail Run

Lace-up for the Crazy Legs 10K+ Trail Run on June 7, 2026, a truly unique challenge set amidst the stunning landscapes of Loveland, CO. This popular event, hosted at Devil's Backbone Open Space, offers runners a scenic and engaging 10K trail experience. The course is a looped route that traverses diverse terrain including rocks, dirt, and challenging hills, guiding participants along named trails such as Hidden Valley, Hunter Loop, Laughing Horse Loop, and Wild Loop, with picturesque views throughout. You'll navigate a beautifully marked course with flour arrows, embracing a low-key atmosphere that focuses on the pure joy of trail running.

Runners will encounter a single aid station near the 3-mile mark, which they'll pass twice, stocked with water and Gatorade; it's advisable for participants with additional hydration needs to carry their own fluids. Expect typical race day conditions in early June to feature highs around 82°F and lows around 48°F, with a minimal 6% chance of precipitation. One of the race's charming quirks is its "old school" timing system, where finishers receive a stick indicating their overall placing, which is then returned. Adding to the memorable experience, each runner can select a hat adorned with a random patch.

The race kicks off and concludes in the parking lot of Devil's Backbone Open Space. Given limited parking, carpooling is strongly encouraged, and a valid Devil's Backbone Open Space pass is required. After conquering the trails, runners can celebrate their achievement at the awards ceremony held at Loveland Aleworks, complete with delicious sweet treats. As the 2028 edition marks the final year of this beloved race series, don't miss your chance to be part of the Crazy Legs legacy in 2026.
