Silverheels Trail Runs

The Silverheels Trail Runs take place at an average elevation of over 10,000’, in one of the most visually stunning areas of Colorado’s Front Range. Distances include 10-Mile, 19-Mile, 60k, 50-Mile, 100k, and 100-Miles. The course features a mixture of single-track trails and fire roads, with a few stretches of dirt roads; it takes runners through high-alpine and sub-alpine meadows loaded with wildflowers, offering expansive views of the South Park Valley and, on a clear day, at least 19 different Colorado 14ers. You’ll run through ghost towns, past abandoned mines, and awe at the wildflowers in full bloom, all while dancing under the watchful eye of Silverheels Mountain and the ever-stunning Milky Way Galaxy. Our 10-Mile and 18-Mile options are run on the gorgeous Gold Dust Trail, traveling through massive aspen groves, over many high mountain creeks, through old mining encampments, and along a miner's ditch hand-dug by those in the late 1800s.
