We have brought back the 5 race discount pack. When you register for at least 5 races, you receive 20% off on all races. The race pack discount is open only until March 15th and you can use it to register for every race.

Specifically, for the Continental Divide Trail Run you can register for that race as well in the discount race pack. After March 15th, we will move your registration from runsignup to ultrasignup.

We are so thankful for this community and excited to say that all of the races open on Januray 1st!

With so many options and big race organizations out there, we hope that you will join us at one (or many) of our non profit events in 2026.

Please read below what one of our runners recently had to say about the series 🥺

"My first Steamboat Running Series race was the 2024 Emerald Mountain 12K. This event drew me in instantly. I was able to observe this local nonprofit offers more than just races. It creates meaningful challenges across trails and roads, distances and abilities, all rooted in the Yampa Valley.

From day one the community stood out. Runners of all ages, supported by dedicated volunteers and local sponsorships. Everyone shows up with smiles, grit, and encouragement from start to finish.

The Steamboat Running Series is more than an event calendar. It’s a healthy third place, where movement, connection, and respect for the outdoors bring people together.

I’m deeply grateful for the positive impact this organization has had on my life and in my training. I encourage everyone to support it by racing, volunteering, or donating, so this community continues to thrive and shine its light for generations to come. "

Thank you so much for your heartfelt words and positive energy Kevin, we cannot wait for the upcoming season!

Hi Friends!
Finally the Steamboat Springs Running Series is part of Colorado Gives Day!

On December 9th (or before) we hope that you will think about giving to the SSRS, a 501C3 non profit.

Our races are set up so that proceeds go back to other non profits, groups and youth organizations in the community, a rarity today. We will not lie, it is not easy operating in this fashion today but it is our deep belief that we can continue to do so, even as a mostly volunteer led organization.

Events like this that have been in our valley for 45+ years are so important to the local community. Our events provide such an amazing place for locals and visitors to gather in, a health supportive environment, from beginners and walkers to elite runners.

We have been giving locally for years and now we ask for your support. Please consider us this year, your donation no matter how small or large, will be put to amazing use keeping these traditions alive!

If you have ever enjoyed one of our races, please consider donating.

Thank you ❤

The Steamboat Springs Running Series has been an integral part of the Steamboat Springs and Colorado running communities for 40 years. Several of our races on their own are over 45+ years running and Colorado classics. We are committed to hosting fun, inclusive, competit...

Exciting news! 🔔

Registration for the 2026 Continental Divide Trail Run opens tomorrow on !

Although this race is a long-standing tradition, it is quickly becoming one of the go to Colorado mountain events of the summer.

Sign up for the 50K, 16 mile or 5 mile option that will take place on Saturday August 29th, 2026.

All of our other races will open on January 1st (possibly earlier), as we update the website.

Sign up for an amazing challenge on this spectacular course in beautiful Steamboat Springs. Certainly for those in the know, if you are planning on running our sister event - there is no better tuneup than CDTR.

We are very happy to be skiing and seeing more snow in the valley currently, but its never too early to plan your summer events and lock in the best prices.

We cannot wait to welcome you back to beautiful Northwest Colorado in August for this event!
