Silverheels Trail Runs
The Silverheels Trail Runs is the 12th annual multi-distance trail running event held July 10 - 11, 2026 in the Como, Colorado area. Distances offered include:
- 100-Mile
- 100k
- 60k
- 50-Mile
- 19-Mile
- 10-Mile
The main start/finish area is at the Como Roundhouse in Como, CO. The 100-Mile and 100k start at Burning Bear Trailhead #601 in Grant, CO, with the 100k described as a 100 percent point to point route. The 100-Mile course covers 83 non-repetitive miles across three ranger districts in two US National Forests and has an average elevation just over 10,800 feet. The event area averages above 10,000 feet and the courses include single track, fire roads, and some dirt roads through high alpine and subalpine meadows, historic mining sites and ghost towns, expansive views of South Park Valley, and extensive wildflower displays. The 10-Mile and 19-Mile routes run on the Gold Dust Trail through aspen groves, high mountain creeks, and old mining encampments.
Field capacity is limited by distance groups. The event lists qualifying standards for the 100-Mile and 100k entries, a requirement of volunteer service or buy-out for 100-Mile entrants, a limited race morning shuttle to the remote start for the longest distances, drop-down options for some distances, and organized camping available for a fee that benefits a local nonprofit.
