Saturday’s Up & Over 10K is notoriously challenging with many runners returning year-after-year to beat their PBs. There are many groups that run together; friends, co-workers, and whole families who want to take on the mountain. The course is a formidable and scenic 2,612’ climb from 9,321′ at the base, topping out at 11,819′. Expect amazing views of Kachina and Wheeler Peaks, followed by a technical descent through high alpine terrain.

On Sunday take on the 3rd Annual VerticAL's VertK, a daunting vertical 1K up TAOS’s famed Al’s Run. In winter, Al’s is an intimidating long, steep black diamond ski run directly under Lift 1, carved with seemingly infinite measure of moguls. VerticAL's participants will scramble up from the base to the finish at the top of Al’s – a grueling gain of 1,497’. Due to the demanding terrain, this event will be open to participants 16+ years old.

This is a combo event of the Up & Over 10k, run on Saturday, and the Vertic-Al's Vert-K, run on Sunday.

This one is just for the kids - a mini-version of our classic Up & Over 10k run, this course will take the young runners up Pioneer Run and back down again at a distance of 1k. Let the kids join in the fun with their own Up & Dn!

This fun run is open to children 10 and under. Race will be untimed with overall boy and girl receiving a prize. All runners will receive an Up & Dn finisher’s medal.

The Taos Ski Valley Up & Over Trail Run is raising the bar for our 20th Anniversary with a 20K challenge built for runners who crave serious altitude and even more attitude. This commemorative double-loop course packs a challenging 4,700 feet of vertical gain as you charge up rugged alpine trails, crest jaw-dropping ridgelines, and bomb down technical descents only TSV can deliver. It’s raw, it’s beautiful, and it’s absolutely not for the faint of heart. If you want bragging rights that last long after race weekend wraps, this is the race you’ll remember forever. Lace ’em up and button-up those chin straps!
