Escape Trail Run

Thank you for being part of the Escape Trail Run journey. From 2019-2025, runners and walkers joined us at YMCA Camp Jackson to take on winding trails, 1,000+ feet in elevation gain, and some of the most beautiful scenery in southern Colorado. This race became more than a challenge. It became a tradition rooted in nature, community, and adventure. We are deeply grateful to every participant and supporter who help make this event so special over the years.

While the future of this event is still unfolding, we're excited and hopeful about what's next in 2026 and beyond. Thank you for escaping with us and for being part of something truly meaningful.
