2026 10K & 5K @10,000 Feet

The 2026 Vail Trail Running Series continues with the 5K & 10K@10,000 Feet, presented by Howard Head Sports Medicine and Rossignol. Get ready for unbeatable views and high altitude racing!
The 10@10 returns to its original route on Grand Traverse. The race starts 10,000 feet above sea level, on the beautiful Vail Mountain. Racers will be challenged as they traverse over Vail Mountain and across the legendary back bowls of Vail. The average grade of the 10K is 7 percent with an elevation gain of nearly 1,200 feet, while the shorter 5K is a tad less challenging and allows runners the chance to experience racing at an impressive altitude.
Both courses provide incredible views of the Vail Valley, the Gore Range and the beauty of wildflowers in full bloom.
