Endure Trail Runs

Divide, CO
The Human Potential Running Series Presents:The Endure Trail Runs @ Mueller State Park The Endure 12-Hour is a one-of-a-kind 12-Hour timed event designed by YOU… and tiny colorful balls. Each runner will pull colored balls from a bucket, which determines the loop they’ll next run. This continues for up to 12 hours; the runner’s result is the miles they ran within the allotted time. You are not required to run for all 12 hours, as your final result is the number of miles you ran within the time you participate!  The 10k, Half Marathon, and Marathon are great ways to enjoy Mueller State Park’s natural beauty in a supportive, “no-pressure” environment. All three distances feature a generous 11-hour cutoff.  All courses feature double-track and single-track trails with ZERO pavement, and an aid station you’ll want to hang around at for hours (we’re that much fun)! Formerly Known As The Tommyknocker 12-Hour & Mine Shaft Half

Vallecito Lake Heavy Half

Bayfield, CO
Vallecito Lake Heavy Half  The Vallecito Lake Heavy Half Marathon is a beautiful and scenic course around Vallecito Lake. Nestled in the heart of the San Juan Mountains in Colorado, our race course takes runners completely around the picturesque Vallecito Reservoir with a special section that runs right across Vallecito Dam. If you ever wanted to run all the way around the lake, this race is the only way to do it as a portion traverses private property that is normally not open to the public.  After the race is the best post-race party ever, with live music, local beer/soda, and a delicious lunch.  Grab a few friends and spend the weekend in the beautiful Vallecito Valley.  More than just a great race, this event is a fundraiser for local non-profits.   2026 Event:  Based on the overwhelmingly positive feedback that was received we will retain the single track segment along the east shore of the lake.  To mix things us the loop will also be run in the opposite direction this year.  W
