About Us

The Mt. Taylor 50K was created to celebrate the spirit of mountain running and the enduring beauty of New Mexico’s high country. Our mission is to promote fitness, connection, and respect for the land through the shared experience of trail running.

In partnership with the City of Grants, Navajo YES, and a network of community and regional sponsors, we strive to give every runner an unforgettable race experience from the first climb to the final mile.

We’re also committed to making trail running accessible to all. A portion of race proceeds supports programs that help underserved communities discover the joy, challenge, and growth that come from time spent on the trail.

Thank you for being part of the journey. We can’t wait to welcome you to the mountain.
