So Many Mountain Races!

It seems like everyone (and their sister) is putting on a running race these days! But how do you know which ones are actually awesome mountain races? 

To help you sort some of this stuff out, we’ve curated a list of our 15 favorite mountain running race weekends and all the fun details so you can start planning your summer calendar! 

What is Mountain Running? Well there are a lot of ways to define it, but we go with more than 300 feet of climbing per total miles of race (so a 10 mile race has more than 3000 feet of climbing), and the total distance is less than 50 kilometers, or 31 miles.
