10k Trail Run

Enjoy a scenic route starting from Embudo Parking Lot out towards 365 trail. "Run to the Sun," as you climb towards 365 trail and you make your way through the south foothills after traversing: single track, switchbacks, and some hairpin turns. You will loop back along 401 trail and finish where it all started. Enjoy some technical up and down hills, avoid cactus and some periling sheet rock, and traverse the switchbacks by U-Mound.

The finish line awaits...

Course Information

Even Year Course: The course will start on a wide trail - Embudo Trail 193, and head east towards the sunrise "Run to the Sun" as you climb towards 365 Trail. Take the 365 Trail south for over 3 miles while you traverse single track, rocks, switchbacks and some decent climbs. Veer off 365 Trail near the south end of the foothills and make your way onto the Hillsdale Loop. Upon completing the Hillsdale Loop, make your way onto Trail 401 and head north. This is where the fun begins, as you will continue to follow the course markings and jump back and forth between Trail 285 and Trail 401. You will pass the start line area and will have to complete one more classic loop before finishing. Run up and over the Embudo Arroyo Valley area before coming back onto Trail 193 where it all started and blast your way downhill to the finish! The Finish Line awaits you...
