Run the Mountain is a summer-long trail running series designed to meet you where you are — and challenge you to see how far you can go.

Each week features a 5K trail run at Gunstock Mountain Resort, with courses inspired by the familiar ski-trail rating system.

This progression is intentional and welcoming. Whether you’re new to trail running, returning after time away, or a seasoned mountain runner, Run the Mountain is about progress, not perfection.

Runners earn points throughout the summer toward a season-long series champion, but the real reward is building confidence, strength, and connection over time.

Come for one race or commit to the full journey. Start easy. Build strong. Run the Mountain.

Race #6 The final race of the series heads to the summit!

The course begins near the snack shack behind the Resort Services Lodge (Ticket Office). You will run towards the Panorama lift, along the dirt road, and take a right up the main work road to the summit. At the summit you will run past the Panorama Lift and start to descend down Upper Gunsmoke Trail. At the bottom of Upper Gunsmoke Trail you’ll take a left and cross over to Middle Recoil Trail. Follow Middle Recoil Trail all the way down to the bottom and back onto the work road which will take you back past the Panorama lift and back to the finish line.
