Over 3 days, TransRockies - Pass to Pub traces a breathtaking point-to-point route in the heart of Colorado’s high country.
For nearly two decades, the TransRockies Run captivated trail runners worldwide with its rugged seven-day odyssey across Colorado’s high country. And in August 2025, the team at TransRockies Run put on the final edition of the original format. However, don’t be mistaken, TransRockies Run is not gone, it’s been reimagined as a shorter three day event.
This brand-new three-day stage race captures the magic of the legendary TransRockies Run in a shorter, but every bit as unforgettable, format. It’s long enough to feel like a true mountain adventure, but compact enough to fit into a busy summer season.
Over three days, you’ll trace ribbons of pristine singletrack beneath some of Colorado’s tallest 14ers, with sweeping views of the Arkansas River Valley unfolding around every turn. Each stage is fully supported, so you can focus on soaking in the alpine air and mountain views, not logistics.
After every stage, the celebration continues at camp. Unwind with trail friends new and old over recovery sessions, massages, and meals that hit the spot after a big day in the mountains. Think of it as trail running glamping at its finest: cozy tents, hot showers, live music, and starlit nights framed by the Rocky Mountain skyline.
This is more than a race, it’s a three-day immersion in the best of Colorado summer: big trails, big views, and a community that feels like family.
A stage race is trail running’s perfect blend of endurance, adventure, and community. Instead of tackling one ultra-long day, you’ll cover big miles over multiple consecutive days—each called a stage—with times added up for an overall result.
TransRockies Pass to Pub gives you two ways to take on the mountains:
If you love long days on the trail and the idea of stringing a few together sounds like bliss, you’ll fit right in at Pass to Pub. Three days. Endless views. Unforgettable memories.
| Shorter Format | Easier to fit into busy calendars—commit to three days instead of seven. |
| Iconic Scenery | You still traverse the Rockies’ best: Divide, alpine views, wild trails. |
| Community & Camp Culture | Same sense of collective achievement—but condensed into a long weekend. |
| Support & Comforts | Showers, massages, meals, ChillVille—this is stage racing with all the perks. |
Whether you’re a seasoned stage racer or this is your first, Pass to Pub delivers all the galvanizing edge and emotional highs of TransRockies, in a shorter package.
Pass to Pub takes you straight into the heart of Colorado’s high country, a point-to-point journey through some of the most iconic terrain in North America. Over three unforgettable stages, you’ll trace the Continental Divide, climb toward thin alpine air, and descend through wildflower meadows, pine forests, and high mountain passes that define the spirit of the Rockies.
Each day brings a new landscape and a new story:
With the seamless TransRockies shuttle system, you’ll start each day on fresh trail and return to basecamp at Nova Guides to kick back in ChillVille, the race’s beloved recovery zone.
The magic of a stage race lives in its rhythm: wake up, run hard, then rest and reconnect. Each afternoon, you’ll roll back into camp to refuel, recover, and swap stories with runners from around the world.
Camping packages make it easy to stay right in the heart of the action—complete with cozy tents, hearty meals, and hot showers. At ChillVille, you’ll find everything you need to unwind: comfy lounge chairs, snacks, phone chargers, live music, and an endless supply of good vibes (plus a cold beer or two, non-alcoholic options included).
This isn’t just a race, it’s a moving mountain festival, a celebration of effort, community, and the joy of sharing trails together beneath Colorado’s vast summer sky.
The TransRockies Run Pass to Pub invites you to experience trail running, camping, camaraderie, and elevation—three days, unforgettable moments, lifelong memories. It is the TransRockies spirit—just reimagined, reinvigorated, and more accessible than ever before.
Registration for 2026 is open now.
