West Elk Challenge Trail Marathon

The West Elk Challenge is a point-to-point trail marathon from Crawford to Paonia during the peak of fall colors. Racers will start on the shores of Crawford Reservoir State Park and travel on gravel roads through the farms and ranches at the base of the iconic Needle Rock. Soon thereafter, the trail enters the Gunnison National Forest and begins climbing the singletrack through golden aspen stands on the slopes of Mt. Lamborn.

**New for 2025, limited space available for a 30km/18.5 mile option**
