2026 Riley Trails 13.1, 10K, & Ruck Challenge
The 2026 Riley Trails 13.1, 10K, & Ruck Challenge marks the 9th year of this beloved trail event. This year will be the first without the full marathon option, a difficult but intentional decision made to better prioritize the safety and overall experience of our runners, staff, volunteers, and the Riley Trails community parks. By streamlining distances, we’re able to provide a safer, more focused event while preserving the challenging, scenic trail experience participants have come to love.
Set on the rugged and beautiful trails of Riley Trails, this event offers runners and ruckers the opportunity to test themselves, embrace the grind, and accomplish something meaningful alongside a supportive community. 100% of event proceeds benefit the Egress Endurance Project, whose mission is to help individuals battling addiction find a positive outlet through endurance sport. Through movement, structure, consistency, and community, the Egress Endurance Project empowers individuals to pursue healing, resilience, and long-term recovery. Whether you’re racing, rucking, volunteering, or cheering from the sidelines, your participation helps turn miles into momentum—and effort into hope.
