Trail Races in New Mexico: The 10 Races Worth Training For
New Mexico racing runs through high desert and the Sangre de Cristo and Jemez mountains, with courses that swing from piñon-and-juniper mesas to alpine singletrack above 10,000 feet. Sun and altitude are the constants, and the calendar leans spring and fall to avoid the harshest heat.
