Mt. Taylor 50K
The Mt. Taylor 50K is a mountain ultramarathon held near Grants, New Mexico, approximately 90 minutes west of Albuquerque. This not-for-profit event follows a course composed of trail systems and jeep roads that span the diverse terrain of the mountain. Runners traverse the 50 km distance through high mountain meadows and forested sections of the Continental Divide Trail.
The route reaches its highest point at the summit of Mt. Taylor, which stands at an elevation of 11,305 feet. From this peak, participants have a 360-degree view of the surrounding landscape. The course also passes La Mosca Lookout, positioned to the east, and offers views of volcanic plugs located to the north of the mountain.
Registration for the event typically opens in early March. The race is organized by runners and utilizes the natural terrain of the Cibola National Forest area. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
