'14/'13 Race Calendars

2014/2013 New Mexico Trail Running 
and Outdoors Calendar

Another fine year laid out before us and another go at a slate of fine racing. Nearly all listings are trail or off-road related events. We've added a few other backcountry related events (Beer festivals, Outdoor film series), and regional classics like the Iron Horse Classic. Most are New Mexico and southern Colorado, 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]
