JMTR News:

The 10th Annual Jemez Mountain Trails Races (JMTR) are scheduled for Saturday, May 23.

Registration for the half marathon (13.1 mile), 50 kilometer, and 50 mile options are now open. These races fill up quickly. Register soon at: http://ultrasignup.com/register.aspx?did=30749

The Jemez Mountain Trail Races are a wonderful community event that takes full advantage of our beautiful mountain trail running network around town, up Pajarito Mountain, and through the Valles Caldera. Last year more than 600 runners participated. Through our registration fees and generous national and local sponsors, the race gave back more than $15,000 to local charitable and non-profit organizations as well as supporting two scholarships for Los Alamos High School graduating seniors.
