The course

From the organizer

Trail Runners Do It In The Dirt and the Cibola Trail Alliance proudly present, The Bluewater Canyon Trail Race!

This 5-mile trail race starts at the Bluewater Canyon parking lot, you will run 1 mile along gravel road before heading up over 500 feet to the top of Bluewater Canyon where you will have incredible views of the surrounding mountains and mesa’s. Stop for the views and many photo ops with 3 aid stations along the way to keep you hydrated! The race follows established dirt road with some rocky sections and is an out and back type course brand new for our 5 year celebration. Stick around the finish area for a free fruit and beverage buffet or bring your own refreshments and towel and take a short half mile hike into the canyon where cold mountain water in the creek waits for you to jump in and cool off!

placer tee shirts will be presented to the top 3 male and female finishers as well as the top 3 kids aged 14 and under. All finishers will receive medals this year as well as custom socks and other items in your swag bags.
