Socorro Souls of Sorrow

The Socorro Souls of Sorrow is a challenging 36-mile ultramarathon held in Magdalena, New Mexico, serving as a precursor to a longer event planned for the following year. The course features a fatass style format with no markings and three aid stations, running from Magdalena to Socorro through rugged terrain including dirt roads, rocky ascents, and desert landscapes. Runners will navigate high-altitude trails near North Baldy Peak and South Canyon, facing potentially cold and windy November weather.

The route includes steep climbs, descents, and off-trail sections, finishing in Socorro’s city plaza. Aid stations provide water and snacks, and strict cutoffs are enforced for safety. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
