Happy June! We've been quiet on here since Trail Days, but rest assured we've been busy making plans for the upcoming Gila 100 and 50 mile race, as well as some new races on the horizon!

We've also been running (a lot!) and testing out some sections on the 100 & 50 mile race course. We're happy to report the trails are in great shape, thanks to some hard working trail crews. 🥰

Updates on the 100 mile course, FAQs, and other important race info will be available soon on our website! What questions do you have? Drop them below and we'll answer! 👇🏻

Hey there! 👋🏻
I'm Ryan, Race Director for Gila Adventure Runs.
You might recognize me from the start (and finish!) line at the Gila 100 the past two years. Or maybe from one of the 170+ races I've run globally over the past.... few years. 😂

My wife, Genia, and I moved to Silver City, NM early last year, after buying a house here a few years prior when we fell in love with the Gila on a visit.
We were thrilled to see the local trail races, and feel like it's a bit serendipitous to have this opportunity to jump in and continue to grow what was already started.

I'm excited to help the Gila 100 and Gila 50 mile trail race grow, and to offer even more race adventures to our community and beyond!

Stay tuned for what's to come! Meantime, drop your questions in the comments below! 👇🏻

🚨 Big News Alert!! 👀

We're transitioning to new leadership with aspirations to grow the running community in southwest New Mexico. And while we will still continue our flagship 100-mile and 50-mile race through the Gila, we are also planning races of all kinds throughout the year that will include various lengths across trails and roads.

With this expanded focus, we adapted our name to convey our goal to provide all types of adventure runs in southwest New Mexico, from 100-mile endurance runs to 5k fundraisers for our community.

Stay tuned for more information about what's to come from Gila Adventure Runs!

Our beloved trails, with the town of Silver City in the distance. 💚

If you signed up for the Gomez Grind (this weekend!), is this your home, or are you visiting?

Either way, race day is going to be beautiful, and we're excited to share these trials with you, whether it's your first time here or you've run these trails before. We never tire of them!

See you Saturday?

Who needs a stair stepper when you have these trails??

The course for the Gomez Grind might only be 3.1 miles, but it's a challenging, technical course with steep climbs, rocky terrain and pokey things to watch out for.

That's why we offer TWO options for the race!
A timed, one loop every hour, on the hour Last Runner Standing option, and a 24-hour Last Runner Standing option for those who just want to grind out miles without worrying about cutoffs.

Which option will you choose? The race is just a few days away! (March 14th & 15th!)

Trails with mountain views,
trails with rocks,
trails with zig-zags,
and trails with a tree canopy...
Who knew you'd get all of this in a 3.1 mile lollipop loop?

We did! Which is why we chose this course for the Gomez Grind, March 14th-15th (this weekend! 🤯)

If you lichen petrology you'll fall in love with the Gila National Forest! (see what we did there? 😉)

Rocks. We're talking about rocks. And algae on rocks. Who knew algae grew in the desert? 🧐

Did you know that lichens (that beautiful colorful growth you see on many rocks) actually break down the rock and turn it into soil over hundreds of years?

You'll see all different types on the Gomez Grind course. So many, in fact, that you'll probably notice something new on every loop!

The Gomez Grind is in less than a week!

Here's just a little taste of the NW section of Angel Loop.

With peek-a-boo views of Eighty Mountain almost within reach, and Bear Mountain in the distance, you'll see the many layers of the Gila National Forest along this shaded, rocky section.

Have you signed up yet? We can't wait to see you there!
