Pajarito Mountain Run

The Pajarito Mountain Run is a 10K trail race held in Los Alamos, New Mexico, at the Pajarito Mountain Ski Area. This high-altitude event features a challenging course that ascends 1,400 feet over 2.4 miles to the summit of Pajarito Mountain, reaching an elevation of 10,442 feet, before descending via the scenic "Aspen For Trouble" Trail back to the lodge. The run offers participants a chance to escape the summer heat while enjoying the beautiful landscapes of the Rio Grande Valley and the rich history of Los Alamos.

The event emphasizes trail stewardship, with part of the entry fee supporting local trail maintenance through the Enchanted Circle Trails Association. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
