'12 Race Calendar

Trail Running and Outdoors Calendar - 2012

Another fine year laid out before us and another go at a slate of fine racing. All listings are trail or off-road related events. Most are New Mexico, some are regional. A few select events make the list for their sheer bad-assitude. If you know of an area trail event we don't have listed, add it in the comments or send an email [highdesertdirt_at_gmail.com].

An updated 2013 New Mexico Outdoors Calendar is now up

 The 2011 outdoors calendar can be found here.

Highlighted races are not yet updated....
