TRAIL RUNS

Telegraph Trail 50K and Horse Gulch Trail 25K

The Course

There has been a change to the 50K course this year.  In keeping with the spirit of the Durango Double to 50K will now be 2 loops of the 25K course.  This will simplify course logistics and increase support.

Never flat, the Telegraph Trail System's singletrack features the area's first wagon roads and old communication lines; as well as breath-taking climbs and views of Durango and its mountain backdrop.

Elevation/Terrain: 6,510 to 7,200 feet; rolling, twisty singletrack, wagon roads and mining trails.

"The Telegraph Trail 50K was an ideal Championship course because while it offers suitable challenge to runners of all abilities, it is very “runable” so that top competitors can push themselves over the entire route. The scenery is superb and the field quickly loses sight of the fact that the race begins and ends in town because most of it feels remote, except for the views overlooking Durango." Adam Chase , Running Times Magazine, Trail Editor.
