Silverheels Trail Runs (10.8M-106.2M) - Jul 10, 2026 | Como, Como

Prepare for an unparalleled high-altitude challenge at the Silverheels Trail Runs, taking place on July 10-11, 2026, in the historic town of Como, Colorado. This event, part of the Human Potential Running Series, is renowned for its breathtaking scenery and rigorous courses, offering distances of 10.8M, 19.1M, 38.3M, 53.8M, 63.1M, and the epic 106.2M. Runners will navigate a diverse terrain of single-track trails, fire roads, and dirt paths, all at an average elevation exceeding 10,000 feet, making the 106.2M distance notably the second-highest 100-miler in North America.

The Silverheels Trail Runs promise an unforgettable journey through high alpine and sub-alpine meadows, bursting with wildflowers and offering expansive views of the South Park Valley and up to 19 majestic Colorado 14ers on a clear day. Participants will run through ghost towns, past abandoned mines, and alongside massive aspen groves and mountain creeks. The shorter 10.8M and 19.1M races traverse the picturesque Gold Dust Trail, known for its stunning natural beauty and historic mining encampments. For those tackling the longer ultras, expect a course described as "varsity level," featuring tough, "straight up and over" climbs rather than switchbacks, and including sections of the iconic Colorado Trail and Continental Divide Trail for the 106.2M runners, with portions reaching above 12,000 feet.

The race's main start and finish line is located at the Como Roundhouse, a historic and revitalized landmark. However, the 63.1M and 106.2M events commence at the Burning Bear Trailhead in Grant, CO, requiring either a shuttle or self-transport to the starting line. Aid stations throughout the courses are consistently praised by runners for being well-stocked and supported by enthusiastic volunteers, often featuring homemade treats. Typical race day conditions in July offer an average high of 71°F and an average low of 42°F, though mountain weather can be unpredictable. This event is not just a race; it's an immersive adventure through Colorado's stunning high country, challenging both body and spirit under the watchful eye of Silverheels Mountain and the dazzling Milky Way.
