Evergreen Trail Race Series
Bergen Peak Half Marathon - June 3
This race is epic! Bergen Peak runners will endure the rolling hills of Elk Meadow and the strenuous switchbacks of Bergen Peak and Too Long Trail.

Participants should meet at the Buchanan Park Recreation Center near the Pioneer Trailhead. Download the race map (PDF).
Elk Meadow Trail Race 5k & 10k - July 8
This 5K/10K race leads runners throughout the rolling hills of Elk Meadow Open Space Park. Runners will start on Pioneer trail and head clockwise around the meadow. The first stretch is a steady downhill along highway 74. From there, runners will weave their way up to where they will run through the trees along the foot of the mountain.
The course then shoots runners back out into the meadow to reconnect with Pioneer Trail to the finish line. Participants should meet at the Buchanan Park Recreation Center near the Pioneer Trail head. Download the race map (PDF).

Join us at Staunton State Park for a beautiful 20k trail race. Runners will start at 8,215 feet of elevation and reach an elevation of 9,579 feet at the Eagle Cliff Overlook. Please bring a water bottle. Download a race map (PDF).

After completing the summit loop, runners sprint down Evergreen Mountain to the finish.
