TransRockies Run

Prepare for an extraordinary adventure at the TransRockies Run, a monumental 120-mile stage race unfolding in the spectacular Colorado Rockies, starting July 19, 2026, in Buena Vista, CO. Renowned as "Summer Camp for Big Kids," this iconic event transcends a typical race, offering a multi-day, point-to-point journey that promises breathtaking scenery, challenging terrain, and unparalleled camaraderie. You'll traverse the Continental Divide, climbing nearly 20,000 feet of elevation, reaching altitudes over 12,500 feet and conquering famous sections like Hope Pass. The course itself is a dynamic mix of rugged singletrack and forest roads, with some segments including gravel, rock, and even occasional paved sections, all designed to immerse you in the wild beauty of Colorado's "fourteener" views and pine-scented trails.

What truly sets the TransRockies Run apart is the fully supported, communal experience. Each day, after pushing your limits on diverse and often technical trails, you'll arrive at a meticulously prepared tent city, complete with luggage service, hot showers, and catered gourmet meals, including a well-stocked midnight snack bar. Aid stations along the course are generously supplied with everything from PB&J and chips to gels, electrolytes, and medical support, ensuring you're fueled and cared for. Runners consistently praise the supportive atmosphere, often describing it as a "TransRockies Family" where shared struggles and triumphs forge lasting friendships. Expect typical race day conditions to feature highs around 84°F and lows near 51°F, with a minimal 7% chance of precipitation, making for ideal mountain running weather, though the high altitude presents its own significant challenge.

This six-day odyssey is a true bucket-list undertaking, pushing participants beyond their perceived limits while showcasing the profound beauty of the American West. From the electric energy at the start line to the deep sense of accomplishment at the finish in Beaver Creek, the TransRockies Run is more than just a race; it's a life-changing expedition that will test your mettle, nourish your soul, and leave you with a lifetime of unforgettable memories and a new community of trail running friends.
