8 Mile Course begins at 7:30 a.m.
The race is extremely scenic and beautiful. It's a great way to ease your mind and soul. We start on the west side of the Acoma Sky City pueblo/mesa and immediately tackle the sand dune hill to reach the top of the mesa. Once on top, we head down the southeast side of the mesa onto the dirt trail which heads east then north. Running on the east side of the mesa provides a full view of the beautiful pueblo up top. Upon reaching our neighboring mesa, Enchanted Mesa, we reach the pavement and head southwest back to the start/finish line. Reaching the pavement is the last stretch of the race, but with the surrounding view of mountains, rock formations, and the pueblo up top, the finish line will be reached in no time.
