Event One, the cornerstone of Trail Trash Adventures’ new trail race series in Colorado, kicks off early summer 2025 and offers a fresh take on community-focused trail running. Organizer-run and rooted in ultra‑running culture, Trail Trash Adventures creates events that challenge runners while promoting environmental stewardship—and Event One is no exception.
This intimate, drop-in trail challenge unfolds on looped or out-and-back single-track and dirt road routes located in an undisclosed Colorado trail network. Participants run, race, or hike across 4-, 8-, and 12-hour formats, racing the clock rather than distance. Between laps, runners collect trail litter—adding a rewarding plogging mission to their ultra-loop experience .
While still early in its development, community buzz reflects appreciation for the event’s immersive support. Facebook attendee photos show wind and rain at sunrise, underlining unpredictable alpine weather conditions and the event’s rugged, trail‑tested ethos.
This race is a true test of mettle: mental endurance, self-sufficiency, plus an eco‑mission.
“We saw wind, rain, cold, a very foggy sunrise…”
Families, crews, and volunteers gather to cheer runners on, aid transitions, and collect trash—building trail-conscious camaraderie alongside the competitive spirit. Finisher awards and modest trail-festival vibes complete the experience.
Community & Environmental Focus:
Trail Trash Adventures is built around leaving trails better than they were found—offering incentives for participants to collect litter and showcasing progress after each event
