Ruidoso Grindstone Trail Runs

The Ruidoso Grindstone Trail Runs, held annually in Ruidoso, New Mexico, offers trail running events of 4 miles, 8.5 miles, and a challenging 13.8-mile "Half Marathon Heavy" course. Starting and finishing at Wingfield Park in downtown Ruidoso, the races feature a mix of paved and trail terrain, with the longer distances including heart-pounding hills and technical downhills. The event celebrates its 11th running with commemorative swag, medals, and a post-race party.

It supports the All-Season Adaptive Sports program, donating proceeds to enrich lives through adaptive recreation. The race also offers XTERRA Trail Run World Championship qualifying spots for top finishers in the 13.8-mile race. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
