Sangre de Cristo Trail Festival is a running, trail running, and ultra race on September 25–26, 2027 in Westcliffe, CO, with entry fees from $40 to $325.
Come join us on the Rainbow Trail in the Sangre de Cristo mountains. Run beneath the watchful eye of gorgeous, jagged, and ominous peaks from the confines of the rolling Rainbow Trail. This race is full of festivities, friends, challenge, and joy. Camp out with the HPRS tribe, whichever distance you choose you’ll wander through the Southern Colorado Rocky Mountains, and embrace the feeling of the wilderness within, while you run along the literal wilderness boundary the entire way. No race in our country is in a more wild setting. This unique race is about community, traveling together, discovering the hidden treasures in the mountains and those within yourself.

Running off-road — dirt, singletrack, and mountain paths — from 5Ks to ultras. The terrain makes for an exciting twist and adventure in your running journey.
An ultramarathon is anything beyond the standard marathon — 50K, 50-mile, 100K, 100-mile, and timed events. Crossing the line is less about speed and more about not quitting.
