Registration Opens for Master of the Mountains Adventure Relay

Athletes from across the country are invited to test their grit, endurance, and marksmanship at the Master of the Mountains Adventure Relay (MOM), a one of a kind multi sport race that pushes competitors to truly “master the mountains.”

This event will take place on September 11-12, 2026!

A Four Part Mountain Challenge

The race begins with a 6 mile trail run through the breathtaking terrain of Sugarite Canyon State Park, followed by a 3 mile paddle across Lake Maloya at 7,500 feet above sea level.

The final leg challenges competitors’ focus and precision on a shotgun shooting course at Trinidad State College Prator Gun Range, where the celebration awaits.
