The Boneyard Boogie kicks off the 2025 Vail Trail Running Series with a 14K scamper through pinyon groves and juniper shrubs on some of Eagle's most scenic single track trails, with an elevation gain of 1,279 feet, reaching a maximum elevation of 7,718 feet. Both races will start and end at the Eagle Pool and Ice Rink, with the 14K starting at 9:00 a.m. and the 6K starting at 9:15 a.m.

The 31st annual Ride for the Pass start is at the Winter Closure Gate on Highway 82. 

The Ride has three options: The first ends at ghost town of Independence ten miles from the start (climbing approximately 2,300 feet, ending at an elevation of about 10,800 feet). The second option ends at Weller Lake, which is just over two miles from the starting line and climbs 500 verticle feet, making this option more family-friendly. There is also an e-bike (pedal assist only) option. Join this "car free" ride to support the Independence Pass Foundation and ride this iconic Colorado road before it opens to vehicle traffic for the season.

A barbecue + raffle will follow the ride at the winter gate (weather permitting).

This fun and fast kids-only race is all about letting young riders, ages 5 to 17, shine as the stars of the show! The races will take place on the Minturn Mini Mile circuit. Riders race counter-clockwise. The distances vary from 2 to 6 miles, depending on the category.

Coinciding with the longest day of the year, the Summer Solstice trail run is arguably the most enjoyable race in the Vail Trail Running Series. Beginning and ending in the lawn in front of the Beaver Creek Chophouse adjacent to the Centennial lift in the heart of Beaver Creek, Colorado.

Back for its third year, the VRD will host a single-stage enduro race on the Son of Middle Creek trail.

The Grin & Bear It is Crested Butte’s oldest trail challenge. Historically presented as a sprint to Green Lake and back, this classic event has evolved to offer a 25k Loop competition while still maintaining the traditional 15k race.

The Audi Power of Four Race Series is a premier endurance race series utilizing the unique and amazing terrain of each of the four Aspen Snowmass mountains. Each race is designed to test the limits and skills of both elite and recreational athletes.

The 10@10 returns to its original route on Grand Traverse. The race starts 10,000 feet above sea level, on the beautiful Vail Mountain. Racers will be challenged as they traverse over Vail Mountain and across the legendary back bowls of Vail. The average grade of the 10K is 7 percent with an elevation gain of nearly 1,200 feet, while the shorter 5K is a tad less challenging and allows runners the chance to experience racing at an impressive altitude. Both courses provide incredible views of the Vail Valley, the Gore Range and the beauty of wildflowers in full bloom.

This race course is undoubtedly among the most beautiful in our series—riders will navigate through aspen trees, glide down ski slopes, and take in breathtaking views that may make them forget they’re racing! The adventure kicks off and concludes at Beaver Creek Resort, where you can catch your breath (and possibly grab a snack)

Grab your bike and pedal to the medal around a 25 mile loop ascending 5000 Feet. Solo competitors will have the option of 1 or 2 laps, or teams of 2 can race 1 lap each of the Audi Snowmass 50.

2021 was the first year for this scenic and breathtaking (literally and figuratively) course. The half marathon course challenges racers with 3,000' of elevation gain over 13 miles. Racers will traverse across the beautiful Arrowhead, Bachelor Gulch, & Beaver Creek Ski Resorts along their incredible network of trails. Keep in mind that this is a world class ski resort and don't be surprised when you run straight down a ski slope! 

The 5K is a point-to-point from The Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch to Arrowhead, with a whole lot of downhill (940' to be exact)! This is a great 5K for all ages and abilities - runners, sloggers, and walkers! This is the perfect race for those trying to get into 5K, coming in at 5.6K and mostly downhill!
