Memorial Weekend Trail Runs
Memorial Weekend just became your ultimate trail running playground—and whether you're chasing a PR or pushing into unfamiliar distance, the calendar is packed with events that demand your attention. From Colorado's high-altitude challenges to Maine's rugged terrain, this weekend serves up everything from quick 5K victories to gut-check 100-milers, with both traditional races and virtual options letting you compete your way. The question isn't whether there's a race for you—it's whether you're ready to show up and crush it.
Memorial weekend is one of the best and busiest weekends every year for organized runs with friends and family. If you are race-ready, plan on going long distance. Otherwise, three weeks is enough time to prep for a 5k jog. The key is committing. So, check out these upcoming trail runs, and mark your calendar for Memorial Weekend.
