Vail HillClimb Trail Run

Join us as we celebrate 50 years of the Vail HillClimb!

Named Best Trail Race by Colorado Runner Magazine in 2006 & 2011! The Vail HillClimb tests local, regional and national runners with a historic seven mile climb from Vail Village to Mid-Vail. Race participants will race up Vail History as they follow the same course that was once a gravel double-track (now gravel service road) when the HillClimb began in 1976! Between the history, views and Gondola ride down, this course has become a favorite among trail running enthusiasts!

If you have family and friends who want to cheer you on at the finish line, please pick up passes for them when you pick up your bib! They must be on the gondola between 7-7:30 a.m. SHARP.  Gondola 1 will ONLY be uploading race staff and spectators from 7-7:30 a.m. After 7:30 a.m. they would need to wait until the gondola opens to the public at 9:30 a.m. and purchase a ticket. NO DOGS ON THE GONDOLA. THIS IS STRICTLY ENFORCED.

Discounted rates are available for youth racers
