Stories Trail Runs Colorado Springs, CO   Feb 21–22, 2026

The Stories Trail Runs is a unique winter trail running adventure taking place in Colorado Springs, CO, against the breathtaking backdrop of Cheyenne Mountain, and “America’s Mountain,” Pike’s Peak, with sweeping views of the Colorado Front Range below. This event features an amazing community atmosphere, made possible by the main staging area and aid station at the start and finish of each loop.

The Stories timed events (6-hr and 15-hr) are unique in that, rather than repeating loops on the same 1-2 mile track, participants will enjoy multiple loops spread out through Cheyenne Mountain State Park. Timed events are also unique in that runners are challenged with running as many miles as they can or want within their allotted time. The 10K, Half Marathon, and 20-Mile events round out the weekend as traditional distance options, where runners can still enjoy the communal aspect of HPRS while taking in a fantastic trail race along select trails within the State Park.
