Oak Flats Picnic Trails
The Oak Flats Picnic Trails Fatass is a free trail running event held in Tijeras, New Mexico, within the scenic Cibola National Forest. Open to all abilities and even dogs, participants can choose distances from 5k up to 30k by completing laps on looped courses of approximately 3.2 miles (short) or 6.2 miles (long). The course is unmarked, encouraging runners to use GPS or maps provided at the aid station, which serves as the start/finish area.
The event is self-supported, with water and electrolyte mixes available but runners must bring their own fuel and hydration containers. The atmosphere is casual and community-oriented, with a focus on respecting the natural environment. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
