Sierra Vista Trail Runs presented by Southern New Mexico Trail Alliance
The Southern New Mexico Trail Alliance brings you the 14th annual running of the Sierra Vista Trail Runs. This event serves as the primary fundraiser for the Southern New Mexico Trail Alliance, a 501 (c)(3) corporation.
The 2026 event will include the 50k, half-marathon, 10k, 5k, and 1-mile kids fun run. As part of race registration we strongly encourage the donation of an old pair of shoes. Bring the shoes to packet pick up or race day. Donated shoes will be offered to the Mesilla Valley Community of Hope, http://www.mvcommunityofhope.org/.
Runners in all distances get a race shirt OR pair of socks (which has not been determined yet) with an awesome design from a local artist. Sizes cannot be guaranteed after February 2, 2026. Extras will be ordered but sizes and quantities will be limited and available on a first come first serve basis. There will be awards for top three places in all distances and genders. Post race food will be provided.
All races will take place on Saturday, March 7, 2026. All distances will start at the Sierra Norte trailhead off of Dripping Springs Road.

All proceeds will be donated to the Southern New Mexico Trail Alliance to preserve and enhance the trails and outdoor recreation in the area. Visit us at snmta.org. Funds support trail work days, trail building workshops, training, and tools. In 2025, SNMTA your support helped fund the planning for 4 miles of new trail in Las Cruces. We are looking to raise more funds in 2026 so construction of 10+ miles of new singletrack on the Sierra Vista Trail can be built!!!
