WILD Wahatoya Runs

The WILD Wahatoya Runs, held in La Veta, Colorado, offers three race distances: a 50K, a challenging half marathon, and an 8-mile run. Set in the scenic Cuchara Valley near the historic Spanish Peaks, the event celebrates the area's rich Native American heritage, with the mountains known as Wahatoya, meaning “Breasts of the Earth.” The 50K course starts in La Veta, traversing rugged county roads and newly maintained trails with stunning views before finishing at the Cuchara Yacht Club festival. The shorter races begin on private land, featuring the Dike trail and local favorites, concluding at the same festive finish with local brews, live music, and food.
