Up & Over Trail Run Weekend

The Up & Over Trail Run Weekend, held annually at Taos Ski Valley, New Mexico, is a premier mountain running event featuring a challenging 10K trail race. The course ascends from 9,321 feet to a peak of 11,819 feet, with a demanding 2,612-foot climb and a technical descent through scenic high alpine terrain, offering stunning views of Kachina and Wheeler Peaks. The weekend also includes the VerticAL’s VertK, a vertical 1K race up the steep Al’s Run ski slope, with a 1,497-foot elevation gain, open to participants aged 16 and older.

A kids’ 1K fun run is available for children 10 and under. Runners can compete in one or both events, with special prizes for combined winners. The event fosters a supportive atmosphere for runners of all levels, including families and groups, and provides custom gear, medals, and post-race refreshments.
