Snow Mountain Ranch

The Snow Mountain Ranch Trail Running Festival, held at the YMCA of the Rockies in Granby, Colorado, offers a scenic and challenging trail running experience with race distances of 50K, 33K, Half Marathon, 10K, and 5K. Set amid rolling hills, golden aspen groves, and mountain vistas, the courses feature dirt terrain with significant elevation gains, including a max elevation near 9,844 feet. The 50K is a demanding three-loop course with over 4,200 feet of climbing, while shorter distances provide varied challenges suitable for all levels.

Unique to the event are the Moosehead and Baby Moose Challenges, where runners complete multiple races in one day. Pacers are allowed for the 50K final loop, and aid stations support runners throughout. The festival emphasizes environmental care with a cupless initiative to reduce waste.
