Silverheels Trail Runs
The Silverheels Trail Runs take place July 10 and July 11 2026 at the Como Roundhouse in Como Colorado. The event offers multiple trail distances and has separate capacity limits for longer and shorter events.
- 10 Mile
- 19 Mile
- 60k
- 50 Mile
- 100k
- 100 Mile
Courses run at an average elevation above 10,000 feet and mix single track, fire roads, and some dirt roads. Routes pass through high alpine and subalpine meadows with abundant wildflowers, offer expansive views of the South Park Valley and many Colorado 14ers, and traverse historic features such as ghost towns and abandoned mines. Night skies and visible Milky Way are noted as part of the setting.
The 10 Mile and 19 Mile courses use the Gold Dust Trail through large aspen groves, across mountain creeks, past old mining encampments, and alongside a 19th century miners ditch. The 100k is a point to point course. The 100 Mile course comprises 83 non repetitive miles across three ranger districts within two US National Forests and has an average elevation of about 10,800 feet.
Logistics described for entrants include qualifying standards for the 100k and 100 Mile distances, an eight hour volunteer requirement for 100 Mile entrants or a buy out fee, designated aid stations and drop bag support for longer distances, limited shuttle service to the 100k and 100 Mile start at Burning Bear Trailhead in Grant Colorado, and an optional campsite available for a weekend fee with minimal facilities.
