Three days of high-desert singletrack spanning Santa Fe, Los Alamos, and Glorieta — each stage with its own personality. One day you're flowing, the next you're picking lines through tech, all of it above altitude with views that go forever. It's a proper stage race with full support and professional organization, but the doors are open to everyone from podium hunters to riders who just want to spend three days on world-class trails with good people.
The terrain moves through some of the most distinctive riding in the Southwest — the kind of high-country New Mexico singletrack that doesn't feel like anywhere else. Expect altitude to be a real factor across all three stages.
For the pros, there's a $20,000 prize purse split evenly between men and women, with payouts covering both overall standings and individual stage wins — so the racing stays sharp from day one. TransRockies runs this one, and if you know their events, you know the production is dialed.
