2026 Race the Mesa Trail Run

Purpose: To bring recognition to the past, present, and future veterans of the Navajo Nation and throughout this great Nation. This race is more than a run, each step taken on the trail represents gratitude for those who have served. Race the Mesa is designed to become a meaningful annual tradition. Participants will have the opportunity to submit the name of a Veteran to be printed on the race shirt in recognition of their courage, sacrifice, and unwavering dedication to our country.

As an added incentive:  For every year a participant runs in honor of the same Veteran, a star will be added next to that Veteran’s name.Example: Loren Morgan – USMC ★★★★ (indicates 4 years of race participation in honor of this Veteran) This event is about remembrance, commitment, perseverance, and community. Together, we run to ensure their legacy continues — not just for one day, but for generations. All participants are required to sign a
