What’s more rewarding than running at 10,000 feet surrounded by spectacular views? Get ready for some high-altitude excitement as the Vail Recreation District trail running season continues on July 16 at 8 a.m. with the Dynafit 5K & 10K @ 10,000 Feet Trail Run. Join us for the fourth event in the 2022 Dynafit Vail Trail Running Series.
Both the 5K and 10K distances begin at 8 a.m. at the top of Gondola One at Mid-Vail on Vail Mountain. The average grade of the 10K is 7 percent with an elevation gain of nearly 1,200 feet, while the shorter 5K is less challenging and will still allow runners the chance to experience racing at an impressive altitude surrounded by incredible views. You can view a course map here.
After crossing the finish line, participants can pick up their custom race T-shirt and a delicious Northside Kitchen donut! The awards ceremony will take place at Mid-Vail with recognition of top participants in each age division once the majority of the racers have finished.
