Colorado Runner - Colorado's running news, events and results source

Colorado offers no shortage of reasons to leave the house. Between running trails, mountain hikes, bike paths, ski weekends, and community events, most people would rather spend a Saturday enjoying the state than dealing with preventable home repairs.

Join the Vail Recreation Department on Saturday, Sept. 12 for the MeadowGold 11K & 5K, presented by the Town of Minturn. This event is the seventh and final race in the 2026 Vail Trail Running Series.

Colorado's mountain race calendar draws runners from every state. Reaching the start line can take real planning. Travel logistics deserve attention too.
