Jemez Mountain Trail Run 50 km Course Flyover
By David Hanenburg on 13 Apr 2011 at 12:50 pm | Tagged as: trail running course flyover
About a month ago I created the 50 mile course flyover for New Mexico’s trail running adventure – the Jemez Mountain Trail Run (takes place late May near Los Alamos).
We now have a new addition to this flyover family – the 50 km course (based on the April 2011 race site data).
A couple stats of interest:
- ~ 7800 feet of gain
- Altitude ranges from 7000 – 10,500 feet
Let’s play!
(If you can’t see the video, click here.)
I have special interest in this one as I will be enjoying my first Jemez experience on this course! Woohoo! (Yes, a little excited. 
)
Be active – Feel the buzz!

Hey!
Are you running the Jemez this year? I DNF’d last year and was planning to go again but work interfered. I made the mistake of hammering the first big climb and tearing down it. By the time I got midway through Valles Caldera I was cooked. The climb out of the Caldera was brutal and I dropped at the lift ~32 miles in.
Each race is a lesson. Hopefully people running might read this brief comment and learn something as well! Gosh I love this ultra/trail stuff!

Hey Mark – Yes sir, I am running (likely too strong a word) the 50 km with a friend who will be going after his first 50 km finish. It will be our first Jemez so I am a bit nervous and excited for the experience.
Great insight on holding back in the early going.
I completely agree…great sport!
Good luck in your next adventure.
