About the race
The Capitan Mountain 34 Hour is an endurance running event in Capitan, New Mexico on April 16–17, 2027, organized by Yeti Trail Runners. The event program includes a multi-distance 34-hour challenge plus separate 12-hour and 6-hour races.
Distances and event options include:
- 100 miles
- 80 miles
- Other distances from 25K and up
- Hotfoot Teddy 12-hour
- Rabbit 6-hour
The course uses soft, runnable loops of about four miles with a central aid station and headquarters. The format is crew-optional. Camping is available at the start/finish area on a first-come, first-served basis under BLM rules, and some RV water hookups are listed. A food truck is included with registration and will provide lunch, dinner and overnight snacks for 34-hour participants. Pacers are permitted during designated overnight hours. Packet pickup is located at Rob Jaggar Campground, the start/finish site.
Race timing is provided by Zen Arcade Timing with chip timing, real-time tracking, live lap counting and split displays. The event site is associated with the history of Smokey Bear: a burned black bear cub named Hotfoot was found in Lincoln National Forest in 1950, later became Smokey Bear, and was returned to Capitan after years at the National Zoo.
