2026 Race the Mesa Trail Run

Get ready to lace up your running shoes for a cause that honors our nation's heroes! "Race the Mesa" isn't just any event; it's a powerful run that pays tribute to the valor and dedication of Navajo Nation veterans and those across our country. Each stride taken on the scenic trails is a step of gratitude and remembrance for their sacrifices. Make it personal by submitting a veteran's name to be printed on commemorative race shirts – but act fast, the deadline is July 6, 2026! As the years go by, your commitment grows, symbolized by stars next to your honored veteran's name on each race shirt. Let's unite for this incredible tradition, celebrating remembrance and community – and of course, every participant receives a finisher medal to mark this special tribute. Come be a part of something bigger, and ensure their legacy lives on.

Remember, safety first – a waiver is a must, and the race is drug and alcohol-free. Pack pick-up details are set, and though online registration closes on July 23rd, race day sign-ups are welcome. The event kicks off on Sunday, July 26, 2026, with a range of distances for all runners. Join us at Crownpoint Elementary School for a run filled with meaning. For further race details, we're just a call or email away. Let's run to remember together!
